A Trio of ‘Christmas’ Bark
Call the blogging police. I cheated a bit with the title of this post. There’s none of these in these barks, and there’s none of these, and there’s definitely none of these. *Note* This post has been updated on December 14th.

For the next two months many of you will be busy entertaining, (or if you’re lucky, being entertained) and mining through your cookbooks and Pinterest for some inspiration.

The Lightest, Creamiest Cheesecake You Will Ever Eat!
Have you ever met anyone who didn’t like cheesecake? Me either. With this recipe, I’ve gone from ‘liking’ cheesecake, to being somewhat obsessed with it. This is the cheesecake of my dreams.
