Most of the people I know enjoy cheesecake and, if I had to guess, I would say that you probably know a lot of fans of the rich and creamy dessert, too. But full-sized cheesecakes can be difficult to make. Water baths are often required to achieve the perfect texture and if you’re pressed for time, you can’t just wait around for a cheesecake to bake, cool and then chill in the fridge before yo

The need to bake (although am not quite sure, one can talk of "baking" regarding this cake), is still to overwhelming to let it go...as a result I have made a special cheesecake.

And Guinness To Taste Like A Chocolate MilkshakeIt almost sounds too good to be true. Last week, the New York Times reported that there is a small berry-like fruit that makes all food eaten after it taste many times sweeter. And proponents of Synsepalum dulcificum (also know as Miracle Fruit) hold trendy tasting parties to promote this little gem of a berry.I had never heard of this fruit before.

Back with the Daring Bakers for an all new creation - Cheesecake Pops!! When I saw this recipe I was both excited and apprehensive. I'd never tried this before and as eggs are not really my favourite food, mostly because they don't agree with me, I decided to experiment. I halved the recipe and dropped the eggs altogether! The result was fabulous. The cheesecake turned out delicious - could not re

When Sam of Becks and Posh announced that for the dieting month of January, Sugar High Friday would be designated as Sugar High (NOT) Friday, I was a bit intrigued. Since I don't really eat sugar, except for a small nibble of chocolate now and then, Sugar High Friday was a blog event I was never going to be able to enter. But Sugar (Not) High Friday was right up my alley. At least it could have been, except for the fact that I'm not especially into desserts. Not that I don't like them, but I just like other food much more. This lack of interest in sugary treats may be partly why it was fairly easy for me adapt to a lower carb way of eating for the last 18 months, losing 42 pounds in the process, and getting my cholesterol level down to where I no longer need medication.

It was rated #1 by New York Magazine in the 1970’s and people started to come from all over for an award-winning slice. In 1982, Governor Mario Cuomo declared May 27th as Junior’s Restaurant Day.In 1989 Juniors cheesecake became available through mail-order and can now be ordered online. It can be shipped frozen anywhere in the United States. Each 8” large Juniors cheesecake arrives in a special, stay-
Lon's co-worker Marcos gave me his old bike when he bought a new one. This is a life-saver for me since I'm riding in the NYC Bike Tour this Sunday. If you haven't noticed, I often show my gratitude with food. These Mocha Cheesecake Brownie Bars are just layers of good stuff, brownie bottom, mocha cheesecake middle, and sour cream topping. Sweets for the sweet! Thanks Marcos!Some notes:1. The recipes calls for a metal pan. My 8x8 is a glass pan so you can adjust for this by lowering the temperature roughly 25 degrees F and it may have to bake a little longer. Watch it carefully.2. The hardest part about this recipe is removing it from the pan. I'm not sure if the metal pan would have made it easier but I doubt it. I would use a sharp knife to cut around the edges and to cut into bars, whil

I need a Stairmaster. I need one now. Because I am so addicted to these cheesecake pops! Who knew! I was actually rather "baking-shy" about this recipe. I had never made a "real" cheesecake before and I wasn't sure how well this was going to turn out.I probably shouldn't have learned!These cheesecake pops are so incredibly rich and heavenly! Oh my word! So good! They do take some time, so you need to plan ahead before making them, but they are worth it.This actually turned out to be one of the easiest recipes I've tried as a member of Daring Baker's! Here are the changes I made: I halved the original recipe, I used sweet rice flour in place of the wheat flour, and I used additional vanilla extract for flavoring. Next time I make these pops I will reduce the amount of sugar used in the chee

Each Friday, InterWined.com pairs one great wine with one great meal and publishes the results along with the recipe in a little feature it likes to call ‘Blow the Bank’.
This week, ‘Blow the Bank’ ends its month-long celebration of some of American cuisine's greatest dishes from classic comfort foods to the unsung greats of American soulfood, with a decidedly European-take on a well-recognised transatlantic treat.
One word describes the 2003 Château de Fesles Bonnezeaux (12.5%) from the Loire Valley and available from Oddbins in the UK and Wine Chateau.com in the US (with numerous vintages available in Canada, New Zealand, and mainland Europe): smooth.

It seems that the consistent need for a “bad guy” in American public has extended itself to the world of food. Just like we need a “Public Enemy #1″ to be scared of when we walk down the streets, we need a “health enemy #1″ to avoid like the plague (pun not intended) to [...]

Do you have a dinner party coming up? Do you want an amazing dessert that you can prepare ahead of time? One that will wow your friends and family? If so, these cheesecakes are for you!Our friends Jeremy and Liane came over for dinner last week, for a revisit to the shrimp tacos. Considering that the dinner could be spicy, I wanted something creamy and luscious for dessert. (And I'd received these adorable dessert cups for my birthday and I wanted to try them out!) I was also tickled to be able to use a tub of mascarpone from the dairy lady at my local farmer's market. (I'll try to get her name next time... although, the Dairy Lady has a nice ring to it!) Mascarpone is like an Italian cream cheese, and figures prominently in tiramisu. If you can't find any (or if it's marked up something c

We earned our keep.
When we went to pick Demetrius up from therapy he asked us where we wee going for dinner. Maya was jones-ing for Applebees (where did that come from?) but Demetrius would have none of that. We were going to the Cheesecake Factory.
Luckily, as everyone who has ever eaten there knows, they have what everyone wants to eat on the menu. But Maya was a super chatty kathy, talking to everyone who stopped by the table to pour water or give us bread, while Demetrius flipped through a new Teen Titans comic book.
Maya: Have you had the brownie sundae?
Waitress: Yes, it is good.
Maya: Last time I had it, it gave me green poop.

The week after Easter... the time when the excitement over the Easter candy has worn off and Moms and Dads everywhere are thinking about some recipes they can make to use up a few of the leftover candy bars. How about cheesecake bars?

While I already gave you the recipe for the perfect cheesecake here, this morning while looking through my photo files I found two pictures I took during the process of making it last week that I forgot I took! But they are perfect to show my readers two points;1. A creamy base! Be sure you beat the cream cheese filling long enough to get a smooth and creamy consistency. 2. Although I'm a 'crust' girl myself, when it comes to cheesecake, it's best to go light to make the masses happy. While my recipe used just about 2 tablespoons of graham crumbs, here, my photo shows you that it's just about 'right' to get a great, even coverage.Note the foil up around the edges of the springform pan and the pan is set inside a large roasting pan. This is where you will pour the hot water to reach

We traveled to the relatives house for Easter this year and I took along the cupcakes you see in the photo elsewhere on the blog (below) and a cheesecake. In order to please the masses I left half plain and put pastel sprinkles on it just to add an Easter/Spring touch, and the other side, after slicing, was drizzled with caramel and topped with chocolate curls. The only problem is that the house was full of people, it was a hectic time trying to get the meal and desserts done with 25 people pushing through and milling about - screaming and laughing children, loud conversation and well... we forgot to actually take a picture. My husband saw me slicing the cheesecake and knowing that I have to take photos of most of our food for my recipe blog he grabbed the camera and quickly snapped one
With the holiday weekend upon us there are many who are looking for no or low-sugar recipes. I'm signed up as a member of the Splenda email group to receive news, recipes and offers and I know from some of my readers they love when I post low-sugar or no-sugar. (I'm sorry... I really need to find the TIME to post more! LOL.) So this one is straight from Splenda - but I have it in my own personal collection because in our family, even though we have no health issues to force us to cut down on our sugar intake, I do it because it's just healthier.Marvelous Mocha CheesecakeServes: 16Preparation Time: 20 MinutesCooking Time: 1 HourTotal Time: 7 Hours 20 MinutesWhat you need:44 Reduced-Fat Chocolate Wafers, crushed1/4 cup butter, melted2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder1/4 cup SPLENDA®

I've been craving cheesecake for the past two weeks but hadn't gotten around to making one yet. I did pick up a large block of cream cheese at Costco however, so we are good to go and I think today or tomorrow might be the day I finally get it made. So, in honor of the cheesecake that is on my mind, I decided to swing over to Amazon and check out some cheesecake pans, otherwise known as Springform Pans. First, your basic non-stick springform pan. Nothing fancy, but a sturdy regular sized cheesecake form.Want a 3 piece set? I found this set listed as a 3-piece, by Baker's Secret. You get a 7 inch, 8 inch and 10 inch pan, non-stick, typical 3 inches high. Looks like a great set for the beginner at an affordable price.I love this pan (below). It's so cute!

It’s all too easy reaching out to that feel-good-taste-good bar of chocolate when you are nursing the baby and have had a hard day changing diapers. You aren’t even sure whether your husband will be in a state to take care of your aching back once he is home from work. So what do women do when they are left with less time and a large work schedule after they deliver a baby?Some will most certainly reach out for that slice of strawberry cheesecake when nursing the baby. After weaning the child, a diet and exercise plan may follow for a month or two and an attempt at yoga might be thrown in. Then again, there are some women who prefer the knife to get their bodies back to pre-birthing state with plastic surgeries like breast lifts, tummy tucks and liposuction. These three cosmetic

Some say that pinups were a 40’s-50’s fad, which disappeared with the sexual revolution. I believe pinups, in their sensual yet none reviling form, are alive and kicking.

In my last post Lunar New Year Food (Vegetarian Style) I showcased the Berry Mix Tofu Cheesecake. It uses tofu and soy cream cheese as the main ingredients and was topped with strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Previously, I had also posted a recipe for a Blueberry Tofu Cheesecake that utilized tofu and soy milk instead. I usually bake the cheesecake with soy cream cheese and tofu. I enjoy this version more because of its creamier texture.Here's the recipe for the cheesecake. This one is not as extravagant as the one I made for Lunar New Years and is only topped with blackberries. The recipe is very simple.Ingredients:1 (12 ounce) package of tofu (Mori-Nu Silken Firm Tofu works great)1 (8 ounce) package of soy cream cheese (Tofutti dairy-free cream cheese)1 cup sugar1 tbsp vanill

Cheesecakes are some of the most decadent deserts ever created. Because they taste so rich and creamy and look like a master chef prepared them, many people believe that they are difficult to make. In reality they are as easy to bake as falling off the proverbial log.If you can follow directions, I mean really follow directions, then you can bake a cheesecake. Don't believe me, huh?

Wonder why you were up all night looking for retro booty and all you found were pastry recipes? Asking yourself what World War II contributed to the spurt of pinups? Pondering the business model behind Playboy Magazine? All this and more in The Pinup Glossary- Cheesecake A to Z!
OK, well... It's only B to P and it's missing a few letters in the middle, but I'm determined to start a Pinup
It's something way after midnight and I'm up baking the world's most gorgeous White Chocolate Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake. Is it because I want to share something lovely with my family for Thanksgiving?
Nope, its because I'm a vindictive bitch.
I'm a vindictive bitch who CAN cook.
Rewind back about five years and you would've found my mother-in-law telling me that I can't cook. I remember very fondly that day, that moment in her kitchen.
(Note to those who are unfamiliar with Rebels...if you tell them they can't do something, they will literally kill themselves to prove you wrong. Its in our genes, every cell becomes fixated on proving a naysayer wrong.)
Anyway, since then I have have made superhuman efforts to prove to her that I CAN in fact run a stove. In fact, its gotten so bad at family gatherings that it makes me blush. I get a lot of compliments which chinks her size six hiney and makes me feel pretty damn good.
Quite honestly, if it we
I got this recipe free from a store where I regularly shop. I wanted to make it this year for Thanksgiving but we already have 3 pies being made and unless we have 12 more people show up unannounced at our door we are going to have far too much dessert leftover! I'm tucking it away on my site until next year. And perhaps I'll host a dinner for 30 people so I can make the 5 pies, 2
Cheesecake recipes would never go out of "culinary fashion", and nor would this dessert! Generally when you think of making a cheesecake, you associate it with fruits, but after coming across one at a dessert cafe and combined with my love for coffee, I was inclined to try a new flavor, the lovely Coffee Cheesecake which is enhanced by the presence of kahlua (Kahlúa is a well known Mexican coffee flavored liqueur. It is heavy and sweet, with a distinct taste of coffee) And to top it all, I used Oreo cookies to make the crust. There! a perfect combination of all my favourite ingredients, and there is no way this dessert could go wrong!! Rather than blending everything together, I decided to make it a layered cheesecake with a larger layer of flavored coffee topped by a smaller one of espresso. So this gives you the perfect sweetness followed by a kick from the espresso. Words would not be able to give justice to this creation, so make your own and share it with everyone.Adapted from a
Durch eine liebe Freundin bin ich auf ein wunderbares Café / Restaurant im Prenzlauer Berg gestossen. In einer kleineren, etwas unansehnlicheren Seitenstrasse zur Kastanienallee, bietet das PAPPA e CICCIA neben leckeren lunch- und dinner-Gerichten, sonntags auch ein wunderbares brunch-buffett und traumhafte Kuchen an. Sowohl die Einrichtung, die Kuchensorten, als auch die Lautstärke erinnert sehr

A little kitschy soul laid over some catchy funk and pop grooves is the best way to describe the sound of the duo Bubbles & Cheesecake. The crazy name aside the music is really excellent, think Gnarls Barkley meets doo wop 50’s girl group or (something Marc Ronson would cook up)! Bubbles & Cheesecake is the result of a collaboration between singer-songwriter Holly Palmer (Gnarls Barkley, Dr. Dre, David Bowie) and Grammy award winning Songwriter Allee Willis (Earth, Wind and Fire’s “September”...

I have about 10 minutes of peace and quiet right now and I thought what better way to get my thoughts in place than to type out a quick post on the blog.
So yesterday I made cookies for the football dinner but I was so exhausted I fell asleep before I could frost them.
Since God works in wonderful ways, it was all taken care of.
Today at work I had to set up for a regional meeting for the
I don't know what to say about this ad for Silver jeans.When I first started watching the above video, I assumed that is was a public service announcement about the reality of anorexia, and then I realized that it was an ad and that these are the kinds of bodies the advertiser wants us to see in their product. The mainstreaming of a serious disorder has reached a new low.UPDATE: Due to the comments receive so far on this post, I have decided to put my response, which is also in the comments here in the post. I was unintentionally unclear originally:...as the comments have built up, I have become more and more uncomfortable with the general yuck reaction. I should have been more clear. There is one woman in particular that looks very ill, whereas the others appear to possibly be teenagers who haven't yet developed more mature bodies yet.The one woman (she's pictured in the still before you play the video) is the one to which I meant to refer, and it's not because of any kind of y
I just wanted to thank everybody for being patient last week. The good news is that my presentation went very well. On to our next stock!
Unfortunately, I have not had time to look at any other screening tools yet to come up with a new Rule #1 list. There have been a few comments on screeners that some Investment Jungle readers are using. I will definitely have to have a look at those.
In the meantime, I will look at a stock that Phil Town talked about in his book - Cheesecake Factory Inc. which trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol CAKE. Is it still a Rule #1 stock? Let’s find out together.

Kasi and Stephen stopped by to have a birthday dinner for Kasi. I asked Kasi what she'd like to eat and her answer: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake! 'nuff said. I've made this particular cake before (maybe once or twice) and tastes wonderful. However, I don't often go for this recipe because it needs to be modified to cook correctly, and it has some extra steps that don't add enough value for my taste.The recipe comes from "Star Pooley" as posted on AllRecipes and, as I mentioned, some changes are necessary, just like the last cheesecake recipe I found on AllRecipes -- the one for apple and maple.First of all, Star recommends blind baking the crust. I'm not a fan. But just to be near the recipe I do it for half the time, that is MORE than enough and really superfluous.Second, Star's recipe scale for cookie dough creates at least twice as much as necessary for this cake. And because it's not actually cookie dough (there are no eggs in it), you can't bake off the res
I can no longer resist the temptation. You know who you are fellow bloggers, blogging about sinfully decadent brownies. I am weak.This week as I checked to see what my favorite bakers were baking; brownies seemed to be everywhere. There were fudge-y brownies from Apple & Spice, ricotta brownies from Alpineberry, marbled brownies from All things Edible and so on.One particular brownie seemed to call my name. The marbled cheesecake brownie. Brownie ...good, cheesecake ...good, together ...OMG! The recipe is from Gourmet magazine and can be found here. Really, these are so good that you won't be able to quietly eat them. Enjoy!P.S. I would also like to thank Jenn the Left Over Queen for adding me to The Foodie BlogRoll.
