PHILADELPHIA Classic Cheesecake


One of my favorite cookbooks is from Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese which is loaded with all types of cheesecake and other cream cheese delicacies.  The Classic, pictured above from their website, is the mother of all cheesecakes.  

Anyway, the cookbook is the most used in my collection and includes the cheesecake I make most often . . . Chocolate Chip Cheesecake.


Here is a list of cheesecake links you can get lost in searching for your perfect cheesecake:

"When I want to turn a Southern staple into a little bite of pure joy, I make my Cheesy Country Ham Grit Balls. They’re crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and full of that salty ham flavor we all love."  Comment from 
Kardea Brown of The Food Network

What a great way to use leftover grits and ham.  Why didn't I think of that?
