Pioneer Woman's Cheesecake

I've always wanted to make a cheesecake but have never had a springform pan, which is a necessity.  My grandma gave me one & so I finally got to try it out.  I'd say it was a success!  It was super easy to make & I made a raspberry topping.  My brother said it was maybe the best cheesecake he'd ever had - yessssss!!!!!  I can't wait to try new variations of this Pioneer Woman recipe.

Try THIS ONE today!

I love making new recipes.

Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Rolls

I have been wanting to try this recipe for a long time now & thought Christmas was a good time to try it because my family always has cinnamon rolls on Christmas day (from the frozen foods aisle; still delicious).  These are time consuming, but not as difficult as I had thought they would be.

These are delicious!!!  The recipe makes a TON of rolls so I have about three pie tins full in my freezer to be heated in the oven as I so desire.  I highly recommend making these - they are very rewarding to make.

HERE IS THE RECIPE.

YUMMMMMM!!!!!

P.S.  These use a whole lotta butter.

Oreo Truffles

It's become a tradition of mine to make Oreo Truffles every year around Christmas.  People love them!  It's fun to have so many people ask for the recipe and tell them that it's 3 ingredients total!  I used to tell everyone they are easy to make - which is sort of true - but yesterday when I made a triple batch and was using my Magic Bullet to turn the Oreos into crumbs (3 cookies at a time) and was melting a ton of chocolate and rolling each one I realized it's kind of time consuming and not the absolute easiest thing to make.  At least for me.  It's not bad though... mine just look kind of ugly.

HERE'S the recipe!

Everyone will love you for making these!!

Pioneer Woman's Best Chocolate Sheet Cake

This weekend was my mom's birthday & I made her Pioneer Woman's Chocolate Sheet Cake.  It was simple to make & didn't take much time at all.  The first night we ate it I thought it was "good" but not "great".  My sister told me it was better the next day & so I tried it & she was right.  It was "great" the next day - more chocolaty and rich.  If you're looking for an easy way to get a rich chocolate cake - this is the way to go.


I did one half with pecans and one without just in case someone didn't want pecans.  I like it better without, but most everyone else wanted the pecans in.  Yum!
