THIS CHEESECAKE IS TO-DIE-FOR!

I don't know if it's the warm weather or what, but my extra creamy cheesecake recipe has been going VIRAL this week!

Thousands of you have made this recipe and have me wondering... is spring cheesecake season?! If so, I'm here for it! And highly recommend trying this recipe asap!

Inspired by the Cheesecake Factory, it's extra thick, creamy, and has a rich vanilla flavor. But some readers say it's even better than the famous CCF! I'll let you be the judge. 

Tammy Keegan says: "I've been making cheesecake for over 30 years. This is the BEST recipe I've ever tried. No frills or unnecessary steps. A classic and very creamy cheesecake I'll make again and again."

Things I'm Making this Weekend

We're traveling to Philly this weekend for my MIL's 76th birthday! But I'm going to squeeze in a quick kitchen session Saturday morning.

Here's what I'm making for the ride (and a few things to have in the fridge when we get home on Sunday):
  • Morning Glory Muffins - The ULTIMATE easy car snack/breakfast!
  • Baked Meatballs - Love that these will be waiting for us when we get home!
  • Best Brownies - My contribution to the party!
  • Greek Orzo Salad - Lunch on the road!
