Recipe: No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake
This is a fall twist on one of my favorite easy desserts. I saw the pumpkin spice cream cheese in the grocery store and decided to do a pumpkin cheesecake instead of a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving this year. The boy approved. I love this recipe because it is so quick and easy and requires absolutely no baking. Take a gander:
No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 2 8ox. packages of pumpkin & spice cream cheese*
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- Juice from 2 lemons (or two generous squeezes from the packaged lemon juice)
- 1 ready made graham cracker crust
*This works perfectly well with regular, non-flavored cream cheese, too – in fact, that’s the original recipe. I make it that way, and top with a can of cherry pie filling – equally yummy!
Directions
- Leave cream cheese on counter to soften for ~30 minutes.
- Mix together cream cheese, milk and lemon juice until well blended. I just do this by hand, no mixer necessary.
- Pour into graham cracker crust.
- Set in freezer for for a few hours, then enjoy! Store in refrigerator afterwards.

Recipe: Easy White Fish Broil
Prepare yourself for the easiest and tastiest fish recipe ever. It's adapted from a recipe in one of the boy's cookbooks (Esquire's Eat Like a Man). We've made this twice so far, and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. It's also a good excuse to use that oft...

Today I have an easy and tasty recipe for you. It's only got 5 ingredients, but packs a pretty tasty punch. And it might get you addicted to Craisins if, like me, you munch on some out of the bag while making dinner. Seriously, I'd never had them before, and now I...
Recipe: Apple Roasted Duck
This is what we made for Easter dinner. The boy got it into his head that he wanted to try cooking duck, so duck is what we cooked. Prior to this, the only time we had cooked with duck was a red wine based stew, and that only need some duck legs, not a whole bird. So...

Recipe: Thai-Inspired Chicken & Noodles
This is one of the boy's recent picks for cookery adventures. And I admit, I was a bit skeptical. I've had Thai dishes before where the peanut sauce was overwhelming, and thus not enjoyable (for me). Happily, that is not the case with this dish. I'm not sure whether...
Recipe: Italian Pork with Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Yes, that's right - a long overdue recipe post! Try to contain your shock and glee. 🙂 The boy and I are back on the cooking-new-things bandwagon. This is based on a recipe we found in a Better Homes & Garden slow cooker book. It originally called for a different mix...
