I’ve tweaked a lot of cheesecake recipes in my day! However, I have never completely developed my very own cheesecake recipe…until now! My Grandma used to say…”If you’re going to do a job…do it well or not at all!” I’m happy to say the wait to create my very own cheesecake was worth it! This Coconut Raspberry Cheesecake is truly the BEST cheesecake I’ve ever had! The Coconut Cheesecake is so creamy it melts in your mouth. The coconut cookie crust is superb! The Raspberry swirl…out of this world! It’s perfect for your Easter dinner!
Holiday Dishes
Valentines Day should be all about the Chocolate Hearts! I just prefer my hearts Flaky, buttery, and filled with a Rich, Creamy, Dark Godiva Chocolate! Throw some sweet red cherries, a good sprinkle of powder sugar, and you can skip the diamonds and drug store card! Just hand over one of these Chocolate Cherry Napoleons and I’m a happy lady. It’s pastry and chocolate for crying out loud! I’ll be hiding out in the closet if ya need me.
I like to think outside of the box! The brownie box! I believe them when they say “Go Big OR Go Home”! So I KICKED up these Valentine Raspberry Brownies by about 100 notches! How you ask? Well…I added a delicious Raspberry filling, White Chocolate Chips, Toasted Almonds, a heaping scoop of Raspberry Cheesecake Gelato, Dark Chocolate Syrup, and Fresh Raspberry Sauce. I think that’s “BIG” enough. What do ya’ll think?
When you need a last minute Christmas Cookie for a Cookie Exchange… or a Pastry for a Holiday Brunch Potluck…this is a quick, easy, and super delicious treat! They’re so fun to make and So delicious to eat!
These Christmas Sandwich Cremes have always been called “Hamburger Cookies” at this Nest and the Nest where I grew up. A delicate, flaky pastry cookie filled with sweet creamy filling…they melt in your mouth and are completely swoon worthy! You can take every other cookie off the Goodie Tray…just leave me my “Hamburger Cookies” and nobody gets hurt!
One of the joys of the Holiday Season are the specialty party foods! Like appetizers. I love appetizers! Little heavenly bites of YUM! One of my very favorite appetizers are these crab stuffed mushrooms. They’re easy to make, elegant, and beyond delicious!
You’re just 4 ingredients, and one slow cooker, away from enjoying these rich, creamy, crunchy chocolate peanut clusters. So Quick and Easy! A wonderful gift for friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve adjusted this recipe for the newer crock pots that cook at higher temperatures. Follow my instructions and they’ll turn out PERFECT every time!
I was never a huge fan of Tamales. Then I tasted my friends Tamales! Whoa..Game changer! I begged her to teach me how to make them! She took pity on me. Thank heavens! Now they’re a yearly tradition at this Nest. Yes there’s a little bit of prep and work to them, but if I can make them…YOU can make them!
I’m kicking off Holiday Baking Season with one of my very favorite cookies! It’s like a candy and a cookie all in one! What could be better than that? (Not much…unless it’s fairies to do the dishes!) You’ll love the rich buttery chocolate cookie combined with the tender flavorful cherry. Top it off with the cherry chocolate frosting and BAAAA-ZINGA! One of the BEST Holiday cookies EVER! Hooray for Holiday Baking! We’ve got this…right?!!!
I’ve got a GREAT alternative to Prime Rib this Holiday Season. I realize with growing families not everyone can afford to serve Prime Rib! Yikes!!! I wanted to create a main dish elegant and tasty enough for your Christmas dinner table, yet hearty enough for the meat lovers at your Nest. I think I hit the mark with this Pork Shoulder Roast with a Cranberry Apricot Glaze. It’s good my friends. It’s REALLY good!
