A Slice of Pie

I do like pie, especially when you can sneak in a layer of cheesecake.

Cheesecake

Ah, I love cheesecake, so just had to smear it all over a card.  You can find the postcard here.

Mascarpone Cheesecake

Cheesecake is on my brain since dining at The Cheesecake Factory today. My daughter and I endulged in a peanutbutter and chocolate cheesecake. Wow!

All those fancy flavors can never replace a traditional cheesecake...with subtle twists. Try this tasty one from That Skinny Chick Can Bake!!! (Geez, love that blog title!)

Green Tea Cheesecake

Here is a fantastic cheesecake to add to this green tea madness.  Please visit My Kitchen Notes to get the full recipe and great photos to boot.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Her Cheesecake

Yesterday my daughter and I made cheesecake (okay, it was out of a box). She was thrilled and pretended to be the host of a cooking show while we pulled the ingredients together. She finished it off with a heart "drawn" into the top with the edge of a fork. {print available}

TGIF

At work each staff member is assigned a staff meeting to bring treats. Last Friday a co-worker brought three different foods and labeled them with cute little notes accordingly...a bowl of fruit ("good for you"), a raspberry danish ("okay for you"), and a really great cheesecake ("TGIF"). It was a good laugh and a nice way to end the week. {thanks Nathan!}

Cheesecake Rich

I learned what the word "rich" meant when I fell in love with cheesecake as a child. It was something that I craved, but could sadly only handle eating one piece a seating. To clarify my inability to eat the second one, adults would explain the cheesecake was too rich. If richness is my obstacle to eating more, then so be it.
