Mmmm..Cheesecake. I found this recipe in USA Weekend as I was sorting the mail. I don’t always flip through this paper, but I’m glad I did because as soon as I saw the recipe, I wanted to make it. It’s an Ellie Krieger recipe, so …
What I’m making this weekend: Bibimbap for dinner on Friday with friends: Shibuya Punch for cocktails on Friday: Lime Margarita Bars for dessert on Friday: Kentucky Bourbon Chex Mix for a snack at a party on Saturday: I’m also making Pineapple Martinis on Friday …
