Happy New Year! I hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday, but truth be told, I’m ready to tackle 2012 and I am GLAD to have you BACK, reading, baking, and just being here for me, giving me reasons to keep posting! Over the holidays, I made this: a chocolate mousse topped cheesecake. I’ve made a […]
Did you survive the Holidays? Eat too much? Shop too much? Get a face full of pepper spray while trying to secure a $2 waffle iron? (I already have a waffle iron, and I hope you do, too. Pepper spray sucks.) No matter…I hope you had a great long weekend full of friends and family, […]
Toasted Coconut Raspberry Cheesecake I adore cheesecake. Thick, creamy, sweet. I have to say, my favorite cheesecake is plain, nothing baked in, just the cream cheesy goodness. Sure, I’ll top it with a variety of different things, like chocolate ganache, whipped cream, fruits, lemon curd. But when it gets right down to it, just […]
Howdy! My name is Milisa and I blog over at Miss in the Kitchen! Susan offered up the opportunity of a guest post and I jumped at the chance. You see Susan has been such a great inspiration and a huge help to me in my blogging endeavors, so I feel quite honored to share […]
When I was in California for the Rose Bowl, we were bumped from our return flight home. Bummer, I know. Trapped on the Left Coast an entire extra day, in a room at the Westin with a Heavenly Bed. The horror. So, to liven up our depression, we hopped on a shuttle that took us […]
This past Saturday was my husband Jon’s birthday. He’s older than me, for the time being – by 2 years. I have almost 3 months to hold that over him, then the spread drops to 1 year. But still, I’ll take it. Older is older. I had grand plans to make him an amazing 3D […]
Lemon Meringue Cheesecake…with fresh raspberries. Swoooooon. It would appear that I cannot leave cheesecake alone. Poor, sweet, delicious cheesecake. You never stood a chance. A couple of weeks ago I found myself craving Lemon Meringue Pie. One of my first experiences baking with my blog was to make the freeform lemon tartlets from the Daring […]
A layered lemon cheesecake. A full on cheesecake layered between lemon cake, then iced. What a surprise inside! Have you missed me? Or have you even noticed I was gone? I hope you noticed. But, now I’m back. Well, this CAKE is back, anyway. And what a cake it is! Similar to my birthday cake, […]
I do still know how to bake. Perhaps you thought I had given up on it, considering it’s been a while since you saw me make anything other than a cookie. I DO still know how to bake. Take this cheesecake, for example. Oh how I wish I could show you the inside of it, […]
Have you ever spent an entire day cleaning your house, decorating it all jazzy for the Holidays, and then, at 11 that night thought – ya know, it sure is clean in here…I should go ahead and make a cheesecake. Besides, Nip/Tuck is on again for the second time in 2 hours and this time […]
On Saturday, I delivered a 4 tier cheesecake (plus extra cheesecakes pre-cut) as well as 100 cupcakes for a wedding. My Hub works with the groom. The couple are young – 23 – and just as cute as they can be. He grew up on a farm, and apparantly that’s just the ticket for the […]
Our theme for the month of April was Family Favorites, chosen by previous winner Natalie at Oven Love. So I thought long and hard about it. Cheesecakes are my new favorite thing to make. God help me, I am a cheesecake addict. The sheer agony of having to wait 3 hours while one bakes and […]
