I *heart* Cheesecake

I’m not going to lie. I love dessert. I especially love cheesecake.

Oh yeah. I love love love cheesecake. *drools*

I found a highly rated cheese cake recipe on Allrecipes and decided that 4th of July needed cheesecake! My cheesecake split in the middle a bit (as can be seen in picture under the cut) so next time I think I need to add a pan of water to the oven to help and perhaps try beat the mixture a little less.

Coconut Macaroons

I tried a few days ago and wasted 2.5 cups of coconut, and 4 eggs.  Stacy was nice enough to point me towards a coconut macaroon recipe she had used that was more like what I had made back in Texas in 2008.  Coconut macaroon recipes that call for flour or for you to whip the egg whites into peaks is NOT a proper coconut macaroon recipe.  Just trust me on this.  I didn’t even bake the whole batch, and what did get cooked didn’t even get half eaten before it was trashed.

This recipe is full of win though, and is perfectly delicious.
