Swirled Caramel and Pumpkin Cheesecake Supreme

The amazing Emily over at Back to the Cutting Board posted this fabulous looking cheesecake on her blog just before Thanksgiving. I immediately bookmarked it and made it right afterward. Her cheesecake came out much prettier than mine, and my crust was a little difficult to deal with, but overall it was a fabulous addition to our favorite dessert list!   Read More »

TWD: Espresso Cheesecake Brownies

Everyone knows that I heart Dorie Greenspan. She is fabulous and wonderful and a great baker to boot. ;) She also understands that not everyone is going to be in love with every recipe in her book. While I did like these, I didn’t love them. No one here really did. My daughter had one and liked it, my mother   Read More »

Mandarin Orange Cheesecake

I have a cookbook called The Cheesecake Bible. I’ve been through it and bookmarked I can’t tell you how many recipes that I intend to try eventually. I LOVE cheesecake. :) Well, I’ve had some canned mandarin oranges in my pantry for a while, and I love the flavor of orange in desserts, so I settled on the Mandarin Orange   Read More »

Brownie Mosaic Cheesecake

My daughter is a cheesecake fanatic. She’s been begging me for weeks to make one, but she’s boring in that she doesn’t want any topping or flavoring usually. I showed her the Brownie Mosaic Cheese cake post I had bookmarked from Annie’s Eats and her response was a resounding yes! So I made it, with a couple of alterations, although quite   Read More »

TWD: Tall and Creamy Cheesecake

Delicious. Creamy. Luxurious. Yes this cheesecake is a winner, with or without topping! I stuck with the recipe on this one. I have never baked in a water bath before, so I thought I had better just stick with the directions. I am very pleased with the results, I just wish I had more time to post and blog about   Read More »

Blushing Pom Holiday Cheesecake

This week for the Bookmarked Recipe blog event I decided to try the Blushing Pom Holiday Cheesecake from Pom Wonderful. A neighbor had given me some pomegranates, and to be honest, I’ve never had a fresh one before. I’ve had plenty of pomegranate juice and I love it, but was clueless about opening and using fresh poms. Sooo, to get   Read More »

This is my first month with the Cookie Carnival. :) If you are interested in joining, check out the button on the right sidebar. This month’s recipe is Mini Pumpkin Whoopie Pies. I wasn’t really sure about these but decided to give them a try anyway. The cream cheese filling is definitely tasty as were the cookies, but I had   Read More »

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Before becoming a SAHM, and then later a WAHM, I worked in Corporate America. At that time, in the early 90′s, I attended a company Christmas party where a co-worker brought this delicious cheesecake. She was kind enough to share the recipe with me. I made it a couple of times and filed it away in my recipe collection. Well   Read More »

Cherry Cheesecake

There are so many cheesecake recipes out there. They’ve been simplified and reduced to a package of cream cheese, some pudding and cool whip plopped into a premade crust. But that’s just not really a cheesecake is it? There’s nothing like a cheesecake baked from scratch. I have this most fantabulous cookbook: The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook, but mine’s the   Read More »
