Cheesecake Recipes - Easy Cheesecake Recipes at WomansDay.com Whipped, mixed, baked or frozen, at one point or another, most of us have lingered in our love affair with cheesecake. Here, we have 15 suggestions that might pull you back into a dangerous remission, glistening in all their creamy glory. We've got something for everyone, from raspberry-swirled to peanut butter-flavored; from no-bake fruitcake to bite-size bars; from tiramisu to pie. Braised Sausages with Balsamic Glazed Grapes and Onions While I'm pretty good about cleaning up after myself when cooking at a leisurely (weekend) pace, I've been known to leave quite the debris field in my wake when slamming to get a weeknight meal on the table for the family. And so, my wife loves it when I make a one pot meal on a weeknight, especially one that is as tasty as this one. You see, while we have a rotating schedule of kitchen duties that gives everyone a chance to be a sous-chef, table cleaner, pot washer, or drier, it seems that my wife more often than not swaps duties with one of the kids and finds herself up to her elbows in soap suds cleaning up the mess I've left in the kitchen. Sorry, honey.

Best Stove Top, One Pot Macaroni and Cheese Recipe Update: Try this “healthier” version of Broccoli Mac and Cheese. It’s another reader favorite. I’m calling for a mac and cheese revolution. For those sweltering Summer days when cranking up the oven means turning our kitchen into a sauna, or for those times when I don’t want to be a dishwasher, but still want to have a satisfying home cooked meal, I need a meal that can be cooked fairly quickly and efficiently. Ryan’s Bolognese Sauce The thing about my recent houseguest Ryan is that he’s an exceptional cook. Bottom line: the guy just flat knows what he’s doing in the kitchen, wrestling pretty much any ingredient to the ground with complete confidence. If he wasn’t a minister, I’d say he missed his calling. But…yeah.

Pasttata I have never been the biggest fan of quiches or frittatas. They aren't bad, but I would much rather an omelet or just scrambled eggs any day of the week. To me, it is easier and tastier and so why bother with the extra effort a quiche requires? Shrimp Mozambique: Steeped in Tradition, Garlic and Beer I am caving to the pressure to share this recipe (you know who you are). However, before I give you the recipe I have been obsessed with for 10 years, I will make you ‘listen’ to this story I call ‘Never enough Napkins’ My husband is Portuguese. As in, came over from Portugal with his parents when he was 5 years old. The Italian Dish - Posts - Sicilian Arancine Arancine are one of the most traditional foods in all of Sicily. These fried rice balls resemble oranges - the Italian word for orange is arancia. They can be stuffed with a variety of mixtures, but a meat sauce, or ragu, is the most traditional. In Sicily, they are sold everywhere and we loved to see them sold on the street by vendors, in the airport or even gas stations. How different from the sad hot dogs and pretzels you buy in an American gas station! They are great picnic fare and are often eaten just held in a paper napkin.

Italian Grilled Cheese Who doesn’t love a good grilled cheese? And, I know it’s totally Ameeeerican to make the classic: American cheese, mayonnaise and bread. But, why not change it a bit and use REALLY fresh and natural ingredients?!?!? Love it! There’s nothing more delicious than fresh and homemade ingredients.
