No Bake Meyer Lemon Cheesecake Shots {Two Ways} #SundaySupper

Meyer Lemon and Blueberry Cheesecake Shots by Cravings of a Lunatic

I just love no bake desserts. They make me happy. I think it's the fact that you can fool people into thinking you spent all day making cute little desserts... when you really spent all day watching things like The Real Housewives of Everywhere and Anywhere. So apparently I'm admitting to getting a kick out of tricking folks. Not sure what that says about me. Not sure I really care. I've got a full belly and I caught up on all The Real Housewives this week. So life is good. And when … [Read more...]

Trust me, these will make those of you who like to spend hours prepping your desserts change your tune. They take about 3.57 minutes to make... and … [Read more...]

This may be one of the easiest cheesecakes you will ever make. I love cheesecakes that are baked in the oven, but some days I just do not have time to mess around. When I have days like that I do things like this. That way I get an amazing dessert without sacrificing hours in the kitchen. Whipping Cream Week continues. This one uses it in the filling. It's a great way to use up spare heavy cream you may have around the house. … [Read more...]

Smoothie Cheesecake Bars: Guest Post for That Skinny Chick Can Bake

Cheesecake Bars

I have been on such a cheesecake kick the last couple of weeks. I have eaten more cheesecake recently than I have in my whole life. I did these a couple of weeks ago for this guest post. It's the first time I've dabbled in bars. The inspiration to do a bar came from the wonderful lady I am guest posting for today. None other than Lizzy from That Skinny Chick Can Bake. Lizzy makes the most delectable bars I've ever seen. One day when I perusing her site I realized I don't really have any bars on … [Read more...]

Coconut Cream Mini Cheesecakes

Coconut Cheesecake

So today is reveal day for our Burwell Vintage Recipe Swap. Christianna from Burwell General Store runs this group and once a month we makeover a vintage recipe from an old cookbook. I really enjoy this group so much. It is so much fun to see how different people interpret the recipe and change it. Everyone puts their own spin on it which leads to some unique recipes. It's a joy to be involved with these people. They make me push my boundaries each month. This month I did not reach too far as … [Read more...]

Hi folks. Today is a very special day. 1 year ago today I entered the blogosphere. I was encouraged to open a cooking blog by a very dear friend named Amy Valentino. I met Amy online playing a game called Mousehunt. After playing the game together for some time we became buddies. I was always posting what I was making for dinner or what I was baking on facebook. Quite frankly I was making people drool on keyboards before even opening the blog. … [Read more...]

No Bake Cherry Cheesecake- A Tribute to Aunt Barb

Hi folks. I'd like to first take a moment to thank everyone for being so kind this past week. I decided to take a brief absence from blogging. Been lots going on and I've had things on my mind, just needed some time off. I tend to get a bit blue on my Dad's birthday every year which followed shortly after my Aunt's funeral. Also managed to get sick yet again. It's been a wild few weeks here at the Bee household. I thought taking a few days off to just chill and hang with the kids was in order … [Read more...]
