If you happen to ‘mess up’ and make the cake according to the box directions it will be OK… just don’t ask me how I know… lol.

Cookies & Creme ‘Two Kind’ Cheesecake

This recipe was a variation of Shyanne’s Two-Kind Cheesecake. Someone accidentally messed up and made the cake part according to the box directions, but it was still pretty amazing! The cake just wasn’t like a brownie but still good. I had to add a little liner of parchment paper around the top of the pan to hold everything in as the cake was a bit taller than the original recipe but it all worked out well.

We used a whole family pack of cookies but not all of those actually went into the cake… there was a lot of quality control happening. If you are looking for an easy to make dessert to impress, then this is it!

Shyanne’s ‘Two Kind’ Cheesecake

This recipe was chosen last year for one of the birthdays, but we never actually made it. This year, we tried it out and changed things a bit to work better for us. Everyone loved it, but the original recipe was a little dry. After the changes, it was amazing!

Shyanne really loves this and would ask for the ‘two kind’ cake when she wanted more…lol. This works with any boxed cake mix and would also work with a packaged brownie mix. You could make the brownies as directed on the package and bake them in the springform pan so they could be your ‘crust layer’.

If you happen to ‘mess up’ and make the cake according to the box directions it will be OK… just don’t ask me how I know… lol.

No-Bake Cookie Cheesecake

This recipe is so easy and is always a favorite around the dinner table. We even used this recipe to make the Groom’s Cake for my daughter’s wedding. This is almost always requested for special dinners like Thanksgiving as well.

It can be changed to use any cookie you like, or you can use graham crackers for a more traditional cheesecake.

Yummy Lentil and Chaya Soup

This is a recipe that we make at least two times a week or more. I have recently started using Chaya in place of the spinach and it is so GOOD! You just need to do your research before using Chaya to make sure it is a good fit for you. This soup is still AMAZING with or without spinach or kale as well, so don’t worry if you can’t get your hands on any.

This soup is so good for you and it is so easy to make … you can add just about anything you like and it will only make it better! You can also leave it as simple as you like and still have a healthy, filling meal. I can make a pot of this in the beginning of the week and have it for lunch all week… as long as the kiddos don’t get to it before I do!

Here is a look at one of our Chaya plants…. or ‘yard leaf’ as Mr. Awesome calls them…

I think I will definitely be adding even more next year! I’m also planning to pick some more and cook them up before putting them in the freezer so we can enjoy them all winter long!
