No Bake Cherry Cheesepie

I, once again, got another recipe via Pinterest that looked mighty good. Easy too.  It was called No Bake Raspberry-Lemon Cheesecake from the site MyBakingAddiction.com.

Well, by the time I got home from work I had concocted a slightly different version of the one I was gonna make.  Mine is more like the Jell-O No-Bake Cheesecake you can buy in the store. I figured Jimmy would love it….since he really really likes cherries and I have to admit loves the Jell-O No-Bake Cheesecake. (its not bad.)

So here it is:

For the crust:

1  1/2 cups of crushed graham crackers

3 tbsp. sugar

4 tbsp. melted butter.

Mix all together and press into bottom of a pie plate.

For the filling:

2/3 cup sugar

zest of 1 lemon along with juice of 1/2 lemon

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 tsp. vanilla extract

8 oz. Cool Whip

1 can of pie cherries

Mix all but the cherries together and put over the graham cracker crust.  Top with cherries and refrigerate for 2 or so hours.

Mmm…looks good….will be good after the turkey leftovers…seen on the shelf next to the pie!  Most likely while watching Survivor!  Oh, yeah…looks like a good nite!

    Looks like something I can handle! As do most of the recipes you post. I think I like the cherry substitution as well. Is this becoming a cooking blog? We like to have some sort of yummy snack while watching Survivor too!

Stitch Fix. I tried it.

Image
Well I did it, finally.  I ordered my first Stitch Fix.  I have to say I am a bit disappointed and I was so excited and hopeful.  I did end up with a pair of jeans that I surprisingly like.  Length is long like I like and they are a dark wash.  Nice to have another pair to wear. (I have like 10 pairs, I wear one.)   I did tell MY STYLIST that I do not like short pants.  Too short and I will not wear.  She did take that into consideration and I was happy about that!   What I learned - I need to specify NO BLOUSES.  I do not wear them.  Becky told me they (Stitch Fix) likes blouses.  I do not.  Also, while the dress they sent me when I first looked at it was like UGH, but I tried it on and it was actually ok. But, I am not in the market for a dress right now. So it would hang in the closet. Just a note on the pictures.  I am sick with a nasty cold and really don't have a lot of energy to put much into this, plus its been a llllloooooooonnnggggg time since I last blog

Baby Back Ribs - the super easy way!

Image
This turned out to be a super easy way to have delicious baby back ribs during the week.  Normally, I would never attempt anything like this during the week because it would usually be a meal that would require that I  drag out the grill to do.  In this cold - getting really old, Wisconsin winter, I do not want to deal with the grill.  That's James' deal, not mine and if we waited till he got home we wouldn't be eating til 9pm!  (that's bedtime, silly!) Carol's Baby Back Ribs  1 rack of baby back ribs, cut into 3-4 rib sections. Salt/Pepper/Paprika BBQ Sauce In your slow cooker (oh, yes...I did forget to mention it uses the trusty SC) spray the sides down with cooking spray.  Place the ribs in the SC and cook on Low 8-10 hours  (high for 5-6).  After the allowed time to cook, take out ribs and place in pan.  Slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and cook in 350 oven for 30 minutes.   Yup! Its that easy!  You could put a rub on the ribs of your liking

Hit the road James, Jenny, Jadyn and Jenna!

Well, if all went as planned we should be on the road by now.  I planned on going into work on Friday at 4 AM, and not take a lunch so I can be out and on my way home by Noon.  Hopefully on the road by 1:30 pm.   We are totally winging this first day/nights drive.  We were initially going to stop 1/2 way through Minnesota, but are plans have changed and we are going to see how its going and try to get to Souix Falls, SD instead.  Push it hard one day, take it easier the next days drive....   We are all super excited and hopefully I can come home with some awesome pictures and great memories!
