Making my menu for the week of Spring Break is so freeing. I don't have to worry so much about prep time because I'm just around for the week. It's lovely, especially when a couple of fun days always fall in my Spring Break week -- Pi Day and St. Patrick's Day.
Today was Pi Day, so that means a pie, of course. I went looking to be inspired by a new pie recipe, and soon realized that recipe sites tend toward all the same kinds of pie--banana cream, cherry, coconut cream, and pecan. Nothing wrong with those flavors, but I was looking for something slightly more original. Which brought me to Strawberry Cheesecake Pie. It's intended for Valentine's Day (hence the heart decoration), but no less delicious in March. I made things a little simpler and used a Pillsbury pie crust. For the strawberry jam, I used some homemade from the refrigerator. I loved this pie. Cheesecake in a crust? Nothing better.
Oh, and we ate dinner too. Sticky Honey Garlic Shrimp are quick and simple. Great flavor, without being too much for the delicate flavor of shrimp. I think the marinade would be tasty using a lime instead of lemon, so I might try that next time. Anywho, the fam loved this one, and there definitely will be a next time.
