Piece of Cake

Recipes that are pieces of cake to make are brilliant, but when they are actually pieces of cake, pie, brownies, etc. they go far beyond the spectrum of brilliance.

Finding recipes always seem to be difficult. Something may look good in the picture, but then I realize there are about a hundred ingredients I would have to buy at a specialty store in France. 

However, my family saves the day as usual. I can always trust my mom, Granny, or Diane will have the recipe. The trick is who to call. If I need exact amounts or anything to do with cookies, who should I call? Diane. That was too easy. Spice bars? Granny. Crockpot recipes? Mom. Fried chicken or bacon gravy? Granny! German Chocolate Icing? Ima. Potato Wedges? Amy Spanish Rice? Nancy Taco Salad? Toy Corn Casserole? Jean....ok so you get my point I have plenty of contacts.

Here is a recipe that sounds sophisticated and complex, but I promise that with four ingredients will be one of the easiest desserts you have ever made! 

YOU NEED TO TRY THIS!

COOKIE DOUGH CHEESE CAKE...yum
