So I had to share this recipe with you after testing it out on my boys and husband yesterday. DEVOURED. If you are looking for a delicious red, white and blue appetizer for your upcoming Memorial Day party please keep this dreamy cheesecake dip in mind. The cheesecake whip is fluffy, creamy and a bit addictive. Plus it’s easy and looks beautiful. Serve with graham crackers, vanilla wafers or graham dippers.

11 Delicious White Wines for Summer (All Under $20)
I don’t know if it’s because I live in the south, but I adore porches. I sit outside on mine every chance I get and gauge the attractiveness of houses I drive past largely by the design and “livability” of their porch space. Is this a common feeling?
