As I was cleaning out my pantry the other day, I realized that I had a bag of peanut butter and chocolate swirl chips. I have no idea when or why I bought them, my guess would be I had some grand plan for them that lacked a great deal of follow through. Since they [...]

I am not blessed to live on a piece of land that will accomodate a large lush garden; however, I do reep the benefits of friends’ overflowing crops. This arrangement is awesome because it means I have no gardening to do, and since I have the tendency to kill everything, this is a good thing! [...]

I started taking cake decorating classes through Wilton, so I have been hanging out in the baking aisle of Michael’s on a pretty regular basis. This activity is fun for me, but not so fun for my bank account. I have a bunch of 40% and 50% off coupons from Michael’s and I feel as [...]

There is a commercial for a chain restaurant (I don’t remember which one) on television that is featuring a chocolate bundt cake with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce. Let’s just say that this was love at first sight for Bri and he has been hounding me to recreate it since he laid his [...]

Nana’s Cheesecake Gone Modern

June 23, 2009 13 comments

If there is one recipe that I remember from my Nana, it is her cheesecake. Although this is not your typical cheesecake, it was cheesecake to me and our entire family, and we all swooned when she made it. Essentially her recipe was a shortbread crust, a cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar filling, a layer [...]

Last week I came across a post for Fresh Cherry Turnovers on Recipe Girl’s Blog. The crust intrigued me because it was made with cream cheese, and I love me some cream cheese! I also happened to have a bunch of fresh cherries on hand, so I decided to throw these together Monday night. The [...]
