Oreo Cookie Cheesecake
I’ve made this yummy cheesecake a million times. It’s pretty fool proof as long as you make it the night before. It’s aMAZing…definitely worth the calories!
Balsamic Apple Pork Tenderloin
I have a new gadget in my kitchen. Well, maybe not exactly new. I purchased a countertop pressure cooker last year. I stared at it quite a while before I actually put it to use. The delay probably resulted from my upbringing as a child.
