• crustless cheesecake with raspberry coulis

  

  Happy National Cheesecake Day! I had some leftover cream cheese AND sour cream that I didn’t use for the wedding cake last week, plus I noticed that the food holiday for today is National Cheesecake Day (Which to me, I don’t usually follow. We’ve gone overboard with all the fake arbitrary food holidays, IMO, but […]

• THE chocolate cake

  

  I was skeptical. The source for this recipe labels it the best chocolate cake. “The Best Chocolate Cake.” That’s what it’s called. I usually am not a fan of calling something “The Best”. If you want me to click to the next blog, just call everything you make the best you’ve ever had. But I’m […]

• mixed berry sour cream cake

  

  There are some recipes that look fairly ordinary and unassuming on the surface, but, upon closer inspection, and sometimes only after making it oneself, does one discover its true beauty. Its specialness. Every cake is special. (To be sung to the tune of “Every Sperm is Sacred” No! j/k, Haha!) There are a couple of things I really […]

• What A Crock! Slow Cooker Cheesecake

  

  I usually don’t think of using my slow cooker for making dessert, but this recipe interested me because it removes the need to mess with a water bath in one’s oven, which has always been one of the things I don’t like about making a cheesecake. Plus, the resulting cheesecake promised to be “unbelievably silky” from the steam […]

• Ginger cheesecake with caramel bananas

  

  Initially I thought that topping this cheesecake with candied crystallized ginger would be appropriate, but it turns out that bananas work much better with both the caramel and the cheesecake.    One substitute I did make from the original recipe, however, was to use Anna’s ginger thins instead of digestive biscuits, simply because I have […]

• Stacked Chicken Enchiladas with Salsa Verde and Cheese

  

  Ever have days when you can’t decide what to cook for dinner? That was me last night. I couldn’t decide between easy and fast, or something more involved. I ended up going for something in the middle, but still had to make a grocery store run, which is what made me late. But it was […]
