oh my goodness, that sounds so goooooooood!

I sure miss good breakfast

 

[Missy1961]

I sure miss good breakfast

I know. It's just me & dad most of the time, so I don't get to make that sort of stuff. I do make waffles some times, because the batter will be OK for a few days.

 

[Missy1961]

I'll share one of my favorite desserts.

OREO CHEESECAKE

1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 12)
1 tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

4 pkgs. (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
4 eggs
20 Oreo cookies, quartered

Mix crushed cookies and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes.

Mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, mixing on low speed until blended. Gently stir in quartered cookies. Pour over crust.

Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour or until center is almost set. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

 

[Missy1961]

and how about some soup?

MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDER

¼ cup margarine (1/2 stick)
1 small onion, chopped (about ¼ cup)
2 cans (8 oz. each) minced or whole clams
2 cups chopped potatoes
1 cup water
1/3 cup chopped celery
1 can (14 oz.) crushed tomatoes or 1 can (16 oz.) whole tomatoes (I prefer crushed)
Salt
Pepper
Thyme
Frozen vegetables—I use peas & carrots or mixed veggies (corn, green beans, peas & carrots)


Cook onions in margarine until tender. Drain clams, reserving liquid. Add clam liquid, potatoes, water & celery to onions. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add clams, tomatoes (if you use whole tomatoes, don’t drain them), salt, pepper, thyme & frozen veggies. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. I usually simmer it a little while, maybe a half hour.

thanks for sharing, Missy.
I love Oreo cheesecake.....I put a layer of chocolate on top That was the way I had it at a restaurant once, so anytime I can get MORE chocolate, I go for it.

 

[cherry-pops]

Thanks for that cheesecake recipe Missy! I might surprise my boyfriend with this one, it sounds delicious!

Thanks for that cheesecake recipe Missy! I might surprise my boyfriend with this one, it sounds delicious!

And it's very easy too! Just make sure you let the cream cheese get really soft. And I recommend crushing the cookies by hand--it's a wonderful way to let go of stress! (just put them in a zip top bag-use a rolling pin or a pan or something like that to crush the cookies)

I'm sitting here printing out my recipes, and thought I'd share some!

Another easy dessert, this one's been a family favorite for a long time. In fact, the first time one of my future brothers-in-law came for dinner, I served this for dessert (mom was the dinner cook, I was in charge of dessert since I was 10--I've always loved to bake). And every time he came for dinner after that, he requested it, and I've made it for him as a birthday dessert!
