Hi Nancy,
I am going to try again. I've written a couple time and I haven't seen it in the newsletter. Here is a recipe we really enjoy. I have made it with fresh peaches and also strawberries.

Fresh Strawberry Pretzel Dessert
Heat oven to 400 degrees

2 cups crushed pretzels (I put mine in a plastic bag and crush with rolling pin)
1/2 cup melted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
Mix pretzels, melted butter and sugar; spread evenly into a 9x13 baking dish.
Bake 8 minutes and then cool completely.

1 8 oz. package cream cheese, room temp.
1 cup sugar
16 oz. cool whip, thawed. ( I used the 14 oz last time I made it and it was ok)
1 6 oz box strawberry Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
4 cups sliced strawberries (I had some strawberries sugared down with juice and I put some more fresh ones in and used those)

Beat together cream cheese, sugar and then fold in 1/2 of the Cool Whip. Spread over cooled pretzel crust. Dissolve Jell-O in boiling water and allow to cool to room temp. or a little cooler. Stir strawberries into the cooled Jell-O. Place
in refrigerator for about 30 minutes and then spoon over the cream cheese mixture. Then, I take the rest of the cool whip and put it over the top of berries. If I have any crushed pretzel's left, I sprinkle them on top.
Chill until firm.

This is a very easy and quick dessert to fix. I also made it and put peaches and used peach Jell-O. It was also delicious.

Thanks Nancy for putting out this newsletter. I enjoy it and have enjoyed many of the recipes. Thanks to everyone who shares.
