Simple and delicious!

1 package of cream cheese
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/3 c. lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla

Let cream cheese reach room temperature and soften.

Add all ingredients and beat until smooth.

Pour into crust (pre-made works as does homemade) and refrigerate for three hours. Top with various fruit topping.

In the fall time this is one of my favorite things to make. Brings me back home to the autumn nights when it was chilly and this cake is heavy enough to warm you up!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. oil
4 eggs
2 c. pumpkin

Mix all ingredients together. Add 1 cup of chocolate chips and stir in.

Put in grease bundt pan and cook for 60-80 minutes.

So easy and so good …

1 3/4 c. white sugar
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. butter
4 tbsp. cocoa
1/2 c. crunchy peanut butter
3 c. oatmeal
1 tsp. vanilla

Combine sugar, milk, butter and cocoa. Bring to a boil and boil for 1.5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients.

Spoon onto wax paper and let harden.

Happy New Years! This past year we did chocolate fondue for dessert and it has now become a favorite of my kids … they live for Fondue’ing. It’s not really a recipe, just a fun reminder of all the good things you can dip into melted chocolate – tested and approved!

In fondue pot, melt chocolate wafers – I prefer milk chocolate. Melt and stir constantly until smooth.

To do the best Double Dip, don’t forget to put out:
