Cookies 'n Cream Cake:  We call this our Snowflake Cake in the winter, and our Flower Cake in the summer! Start with a center round choclate wafer, then surround it with round wafer cookies (5 or 6, then start layering with whip cream, but that will give you the snowflake/flower pattern for you delicious cream cake! This is a delightful little cake made with just cookies and whipped cream... you can shred cocnut on it, if you love coconut, but it's craaazy delicious on it's own.  You can get the lids to help with this cake... it's just layers of whip cream with layers of cookies... sooo easy, then covered with whipped cream, then chilled.  When you cut into it, it looks like a 7 layer chocolate cake!  You can use Vanilla Wafer Cookies, too, but we love the thin chocoate cookies... yummmm!

Easy Schmeasy Pie Crust:  This is the easiest pie crust, ever -- make it right in the pie plate, no rolling, just mix and press with your fingers.... and it's excellent for a low cholesterol diet... very low in fat and sugar, so great for diabetics, too... I love it because it's fast & easy (much like myself! lol!), delicious, and no lard -- ick!! The trick is to mix the milk with the oil -- I just shake it in a jar, or put the milk and oil in a glass, cover with plastic wrap, shake shake shake!  Fun to make with the kids, too! http://buildyourownhousebodylife.blogspot.com/2010/10/easy-schmeasy-pie-crust.html


Cherry Cheesecake:
My famous No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake... I jokingly call it my 'Marry Me Cheesecake', since if you make this and give some to your 'Significant Other', they'll be asking you to marry them! hahahaha!  Suffice it to say I haven't shared this Cherry Cheesecake with anyone for a while, now... and I just made one last weekend -- oooh, sooo good! It's craazy delicious, cool and creamy, really light, and you can make a low-fat version, too (I don't.. I loove da full o' fat version... just eat it in the morning, then you'll have the whole day to work it off, right? lol!http://buildyourownhousebodylife.blogspot.com/2010/10/cherry-cheesecake.html


Man, I love to cook, so here are a whole lot of my tried and true Recipes! And, let's just say you're trying to 'catch' someone you really love, or really want to love... make them the Cherry Cheesecake Recipe... it's unbelievably light and delicious! The Cherry Cheesecake can be made with or without the Cherries, and you can easily substitute other fruits, like Blueberries or Strawberries, for the Cherries.

If you ever wanted an American or British Patriotic Cake, you could put blueberries in the middle of the cheesecake, and carefully put the cherries around the outside. Or vice versa...! (Now there's a phrase straight out of the 80's, that you hardly ever hear these days..!) So here's the funny part... this really is some sort of aphrodisiac cheesecake, 'cause once you've made this for somebody, they're gonna want to marry you, so don't be goin' around just makin' this for anybody! haha! (Oh, and invite me over... I'll bring the wine, you supply the cheesecake! haha!) Happy Eating! Ailsa

Easy and Delicious Pecan Pie.. the Secret is the Pie Crust :) 

Yummy Pecan Pie!
I just made 3 Pecan Pies... 2 for the Church, and one for 'tasting' ... lol!  (I always like to keep one for meself!! haha!)  It was very easy to make, and I was worried, as many people are, that the Pecan Pie wouldn't set, because you're looking at all these ingredients that are 'wet', so you're thinking it might be runny, but it totally set, no problemo, so if you've been thinking about trying a Pecan Pie, or three.... this is a nice little recipe!  I just sent the photos from my cell phone, so will post those in a sec!
