Let's talk about it

I have literally been baking since I was about Madison's age. See, my mom, the great cook that she is, didn't like to bake at all. So if our family was to have any cookies/cupcakes/muffins/brownies, it was to be made by me.

When I met my husband 15 years ago, he raved about his mom's cheesecake recipe. I mean nothing I could even make would even compare to the culinary wonderfulness that came out of her oven. With me not even liking cheesecake, I didn't even try to copy it. I mean really, my ego couldn't afford the blow and I didn't want to have the comparison of who's is better.

BUT......

This weekend I worked up the nerve to make it. See John's best friend's g/f brought him into town as a surprise so I thought I would just jump both feet in and make it.

I didn't really have a piece because I don't like it (and yes, I have tried it) but everyone raved about it. LOVED IT!

I have to say that it was.....BY FAR.....the easiest cake I have ever made. I can't wait to go somewhere so I can make another!
