Strawberry-Banana Cheesecake

I love having dinner with our friends. We each take turns hosting and rotate between us what we bring so the cooking doesn't all fall onto the person that hosts. That  makes it a relaxing and enjoyable evening for all. My friend Irmi brought this delicious dessert and shared the recipe with us. A meal and good friends, I can't think of a more enjoyable way to spend an evening. If you are intimidated to host a dinner party because you don't have enough time to do it all, call your friends, let everyone bring something, sit back, relax and enjoy the evening.
