Growing up the best recipes weren’t found online. They often looked like this:
I don’t know if it is the memories that go with some of the
recipes that make them taste better or not.
Both of my grandmother’s were known for their cooking in the area and

Cherry Cheese Pie
1 graham cracker crust
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup lemon juice
1 t. vanilla
½ can cherry pie filling or strawberries
Beat cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until
smooth. Add lemon juice and vanilla and
mix thoroughly. Pour into crust. Refrigerate 2-4 hours. Pour cherry pie filling over the top and
serve.
A double recipe can be made in a 9x13 baking dish to serve a
large crowd.
