Welcome

It is too easy to get stuck in a rut of cooking the same meals over and over. I often get requests for my recipes and people ask where I get all my ideas. I thought it was time I compile my recipes, ideas, and suggestions into one place to share with others. In this blog, you will find tips I have for success in the kitchen, kitchen gadgets that I recommend, and recipes. Recipes are tagged with the main ingredients along with cooking style to make searching easier. Enjoy!

Sopapilla Cheesecake

The first time I ever tasted this, I fell in love. But I figured it was a really complicated recipe. I was very surprised to find out it was one of the easiest recipes ever! I have actually tried two versions. I will post the most common, but then will list the differences in the other version I have tried.

16 ounces cream cheese
2 cans Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations® refrigerated seamless dough sheet
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup cinnamon sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Spread one can of seamless crescent dough on the bottom. Mix together Sugar, Vanilla, and Cream Cheese. Spread over dough. Carefully cover filling with the second can of crescent dough. Evenly pour melted butter on top and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 30 mins. Let cool. Refrigerate.

*If you cannot find the seamless dough sheets, you can use regular crescent dough and pinch the seams together.

*The other version I have tried calls for adding 1 egg yolk to the filling. Then, rather than using melted butter on top, you beat the egg white and pour over the top dough before adding the cinnamon sugar.
