Tequila Lime Cheesecake with Strawberry Margarita Topping

Tequila Lime Cheesecake with Strawberry Margarita Topping

I am a cheesecake cracker.

I usually stick to cheesecake bars because I , without fail, crack the cheesecake EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. There are a zillion billion tips and tricks for how not to crack a cheesecake but I am a lost cause. Mostly I can blame the oven because it is it hot little broken mess. The seal is stripped, the light melted away, and there is no temperature gauge on ANYTHING. In case you were wondering why I tolerate such a serious injustice it’s because we are renting here while we house-shop. A stove will be my first major purchase.

Forget the new couch. We can sit on the floor.

S’mores Brownies

S'mores Brownies

These brownies.

Okay let me just start by saying that I totally fell victim to a very accurately placed display while shopping for wrapping paper the other day. My arms were all full of discounted polka dottiness and on my way to the cash register I nearly walked into a giant tower of Hershey’s bars with boxes of graham crackers on either side. Those marketing people have my number.

It wasn’t until I got home that I realized they forgot the marshmallows.
