Minute Microwave Cheesecake Margaret asked me if there was some way to make a quick cheesecake. “I’d love to see a cheesecake ‘in a minute,’” she told me. “Just a single serving size.” I love a cooking challenge so, with her mandate, I set out to create a simple dessert that: 1. Is made in the microwave in literally about a minute, chilled for 60 minutes and then served up. 2. The spoon in my mouth proves I achieved the desired results. You might wonder why I added the egg to the recipe. On busy work-week days, it’s important to have something that you can grab and take to the office. Some things to consider before you start microwaving: You can substitute high-fat cream cheese and sour cream for a lower-fat product. The ingredients coming together in the bowl before microwaving. 2 ounces cream cheese, softened 2 Tbsp sour cream 1 egg ½ tsp lemon juice ¼ tsp vanilla 2-4 Tbsp sugar replacement sub (taste as you go) Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a microwave-safe bowl. Makes one, one-cup serving.
Cereal Bars - On The Go Breakfast! Levain Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe The first time I heard about the Levain Bakery cookies was on an episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay eons ago… I bet it was at least five years ago. I never quite got the picture of those massive cookies out of my mind. I still have never been to Levain Bakery, which also means I haven’t had one of their cookies. Still, they tempt me. Every time I see a copycat recipe show up on one of the blogs I read, or on Pinterest, I save it. In case you can’t tell from the photos, these cookies are absolutely, positively enormous. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the cookies, but I totally loved them. Big, thick, chewy cookies with tons of chocolate and add-ins are just my speed.

Pad Thai for beginners Pad Thai is one of the most popular Thai dishes, perhaps second only to Tom Yum Goong. It’s also one of the most requested recipes here on Chez Pim. Why, then, has it taken me this long to post this recipe, you asked? I don’t know…perhaps it’s because I don’t actually have a recipe! Then what am wasting your time for, you are wondering, yes? There are so many silly Pad Thai recipes around, a quick google reveals one with ketchup as an ingredient. The textures and flavors of a proper Pad Thai derive largely from the way the dish is cooked, that is to say its quick footloose dance in an ultra hot wok. No, no, I’m not going to make you drive around town procuring all the exoticities required to make a proper Pad Thai only to feed just you and your sweetheart. Another common mistake in a Pad Thai recipe is to season while cooking in the wok, which once again get in the way of that super-heated wok-quickstep I mentioned before. Once again a little street sense can help a whole lot.
