Churro Cheesecake

Another recipe to add to my cheesecake collection!

I think in another life I owned a bakery that specializes in cheesecake.  They are my favorite!  There was a time when everyone got a gift of some type of cheesecake for special occasions.  Cheesecake type of desserts are what I always bring to a party.

I can't wait to try this recipe to see if it really tastes like a churro, which is another one of my favorite dessert snacks.  They look more like cheesecake bars than cheesecake, but that won't stop me from making it!  Actually, I prefer cheesecake bars to take to a party.

Freezer Maintenance

Organize Your Freezer Like A Pro


Freezer Maintenance is a problem for me despite my best intentions.  Once it is a mess, I don't know where to start, but I'm hoping these videos and links to informative articles will be helpful to achieve freezer organization.  

I'll add more links and videos as I find them.

Jalapeno Popper Appetizers

 



Seems like everyone loves jalapeno peppers!  Our jalapeno poppers are always a hit when we take them to a party.  The beauty of our version is that they are so fast and easy to make. 

Makes 12 jalapeno poppers

6 medium jalapeno peppers
1 package cream cheese
bacon

Split the jalapeno peppers lengthwise, removing seeds and membrane.

Fill each half with cream cheese.

Wrap with bacon (we use 1/2 slice of bacon for each popper)

Place on foil wrapped baking sheet in preheated 400 degree oven.

Bake until bacon is crisp about 15 to 20 minutes . . . depends on your oven

If you take them to a party and they cool too much by the time you get there, heat in the microwave around 1-2 minutes.
