• Butterfinger Cheesecake

    Please enjoy this throw-back recipe.  One of my favorites! I might be a wee-bit obsessed.  With cheesecake, of all things. Which, actually is a GOOOOOD thing, but really, why can’t I be obsessed with Kale?  Or Flax Seed?  Or Chickpeas?  (I don’t know – those are the first three healthy-like things that popped into my cheesecake-obsessed head.) This cheesecake, you guys – it’s awesome.  It’s easy.  It goes together in no time, and you can change it up with your favorite add-ins, toppings, and crust.…

  • No-Crack Cheesecake

    Best cheesecake ever.  It doesn’t crack.  It’s crumbly but not dry.  It has a THICK, buttery graham cracker crust. It’s the best. The end. Seriously. So. good. I don’t have a lot of words about this.  I’ve made cheesecake a number of times, but I’ve never shared my go-to recipe with you all, which frankly seems like a crime against humanity.  Or against lemon-sugarers, at least.

  • S’mores Cheesecake

    Oh, heeyyy! It’s been a few days, no?  Don’t worry, pretties.  I’ve been a-ok.  Me and my s’mores cheesecake – we’ve been juuuuust fine.  Oh, and also – let’s address this right up front – did you know that my husband isn’t a “big cheesecake fan?” Like, WHAT? He just CASUALLY mentioned that to me in passing tonight.  How is that even possible?  Cheesecake is pretty much what life is about, right?  Buttery graham cracker crust, thick and creamy filling?  How can he not L-O-V-E…

  • No Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake

    As the minutes start to dwindle on my four-day holiday weekend, I have to admit that I’m not ready quite yet to get back into the swing of things.  Tomorrow it’s back to work, the girls start two-nights-a-week dance class, and suddenly the first signs of fall are all around us.  Now, don’t get me wrong – I love fall, but I don’t love winter.  Fall is a bit of a double-edged sword.  Love it, but dread it because cold weather is right around the…

  • Peppermint Bark Cheesecake

     Let’s talk about pet peeves, shall we?  Specifically, let’s talk about MY pet peeves. The list is short.  Okay, the list is kind of short.

  • Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake

    It’s officially fall!  It’s chilly in the mornings and the sun goes down noticeably earlier, I’m wearing socks and sweatshirts and went to a football game on Friday night.  Yes, fall is definitely here.  And I love it. Now that fall is here I have a free pass to break out all of my saved pumpkin recipes without feeling the need to justify myself to everyone.  I can burn my pumpkin-spice scented candles, buy apples and cinnamon in bulk and keep pumpkin-spice lattes on tap.…

  • No Bake Cheesecake in a Jar

    Did you know I’m on Facebook?  Click {here} to follow along!   There are many wonderful things to be said about living in the middle of the country.  I realize that to many of you, the Midwestern Plains are regarded as little more than “fly-over” states, but I’m perfectly happy to call it home.  It’s lovely – peaceful and laid back, slow-paced and friendly. I love it. Except, perhaps, when it’s over 100 degrees outside for the umpteenth day in a row, and it’s hardly rained at…

  • No Bake Cheesecake

    This recipe might not be new to you, because it’s one of those that’s been around for a long time. It was probably one of those “What can we make with Cool-Whip?” recipes that popped up back when it started hitting the grocery store freezer cases many years ago – 1967, just in case you were wondering… By now, you know how I feel about Cool-Whip. It’s full of chemicals, including both high-fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated vegetable (palm and coconut) oils. Knowing how easy it…

  • Chocolate Marble Cheesecake

    Cheesecake and I have a love-hate relationship.  I love to eat it, but hate to make it.  I have never, ever had much luck making a successful cheesecake.  I’d make one that tasted amazing, but was flat, or cracked, or fell apart.  Or, I’d make a pretty one that of course, was bland or the wrong texture.  It got so bad that I pretty much gave up on them altogether. But, you know me.  For some reason, I just can’t let things go.  My husband…
