Books: Kiddo is back in school and that means more reading books around his level. We have been reading “Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin” by Liesl Shurtliff. The kids are just loving it because the main character’s name refers to a “butt”, so anything butt/fart related is of course instantly amusing to kids. So …
Happy Valentine’s Day! I thought these would be perfect for Valentine’s. We have made them in single and double batches for big and small crowds. The cheesecake portion is really divine – I actually like it better the next day cold out of the refrigerator. PrintRed Velvet Cheesecake Bars Prep Time: 20 minutesCook Time: …
Book Update: Our book club over “How Children Succeed” by Paul Tough was awesome! What a great springboard to some great questions about society, parenting, teaching and children. My new books are both by Abraham Mlodinow. The most recent published books is “Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior” which is more psychology and physiology. …
My friend, Bethany, really likes red velvet cheesecake. I have made one before, but this was for the baby shower and I was doing a mini theme. This time I made a totally baked version based on Dorothy’s (not my cousin Dorothy) Crazy for Crust blog. She has some really cool stuff on her website …

This cake is crazy chocolate good. You could even just make the chocolate chip cookie dough part as a raw cookie dough substitute. Roll it into balls instead of putting it on the cake or just eat it out of the bowl. Plan to make this at least 2-3 days ahead of time to allow …
So, I’m a fruit nut and the strawberries are not totally disgusting this time of year. But anyway, here is a basic dip that does not include corn syrup. A wide number of fruit dips include cream cheese mixed with marshmallow creme. Though delicious, I’m trying to go for something a little less processed. …
I love these because they can look formal or informal and the topping choices are endless. I read that the reason the founder of The Cheesecake Factory chose cheesecake as his main dessert is because it was always the most popular at his mom’s restaurant. These usually go very quickly on any dessert table. The …
It is difficult sometimes to transport desserts. But cook or create them in these jelly jars and you have a totally portable and delicious dessert in one. You can find the regular mouth 4 oz. jars in Walmart, Target, etc. I use them in making my Strawberry Lemonade Marmalade for personal use and perfect small gifts. …
This is another one of Todd Wilbur’s Copycat recipes from one of his Top Secret Recipes books. I have never had the original at the Cheesecake Factory, but this cake is delicious. The chocolate is subtle in the red velvet and the cheesecake flavor really comes through in the layers as well as the icing. …
