What have I cooked?

This blog is where I like to put to recipes that I have tried, know, and haven't tried. Sometimes I try so many new recipes that I can't remember if I've tried them and what they tasted like. Therefore, this blog documents my cooking adventures so that I can keep sane in the kitchen. (If it has a source, then I've linked back to it.)

Of course, LaDon would not like this one. He doesn't like cheesecake. But, I really like it. Not too sweet for a dessert. You can taste the cheesecake flavor, but it's not over powering. The cookie presence is good, but it doesn't taste like cookie. This cookie bar really is a nice blend of flavors. Definitely like this one!
