Cheesecake is so easy to make and this is a basic, plain cheesecake that doesn’t have a crust because they become moist the next day. Also, it needs at least a 12 hour fridge set so plan on making this a day in advance; it’s well worth the wait. Sprinkling the graham cracker crumbs on [...]
Read full post...Why buy when you can make your own? This is very rich and tastes like a brownie, candy bar, ice cream cake. Use any flavor ice cream you wish - for the picture I used vanilla.

1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
1/3 Cup (about 3/4 stick) melted butter
Preheat the [...]
This is a simple, tasty snack which can be jazzed up by adding some ice cream on the side. I like it with a cup of hot tea or strong coffee. My sister sifts confectioners sugar and cocoa powder over her slice.

3 Tbsp. vegetable oil (NOT olive oil)
Now make [...]

This is a true, chocolate birthday cake. Because it needs to be stored in the fridge, when it gets cold it tastes just like a Sara Lee chocolate fudge cake. What’s better than that?

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
6 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted & cooled
2 cups [...]
