Whatever Girlfriends

Kevin had his 18th birthday.  I asked him what he wanted me to fix him and he could not make a decision.  He asked for Macadamia Nut White Chocolate Chip Cookies Cake.  I did make him one of those and I think it turned out pretty good.  But, just like all my kids, he celebrated his birthday on more than one day, so I decided to make him a surprise cheesecake.  I knew he liked Red Velvet Cake.  In the past I had made him Red Velvet cookies and Red Velvet cupcakes.  He also likes cheesecake.  The first week Kevin was with us he bought a cheesecake at the grocery store and he consumed almost all of it himself.  I am not saying he did not share it.......but I am pretty sure he ate 5 pieces out of 8!!  Ha, ha.  So with that in mind I searched for the perfect cheesecake and this is what I found:                                     ...

I did a little baking for my Valentine's.  First I made Blueberry Muffins for breakfast.  Yum.  (No picture, sorry!)  Then I made these yummy looking chocolate cookies! The recipe is easy and quick.   1 box of Chocolate Cake Mix 1 1/2 TBSP all purpose flour 1/2 cup butter, softened 2 eggs 2 tsp vanilla *Optional - I added 1 cup of chocolate chips.  I wanted to use red M&M's but I forgot to pick some up. Sprinkles 1.  Preheat oven 350 2. Mix cake mix, flour, butter, eggs, and vanilla with electric mixer. 3. Stir in chocolate chips or M&M's. 4. Spill some sprinkles onto a plate.  Form dough into tablespoon size balls and dip top in sprinkles. 5.  Bake on ungreased baking sheet for 10 minutes.  Let cool 10 minutes then take off cookie sheet and place on cooling rack to finish cooling. I love a recipe that is easy and delicious!  The cookies turn out nice and chewy and moist.  Chocola...
