An oreo birthday cake he saw on my food looks funny. Chocolate cake, cream cheese frosting filling with oreos and whipped frosting with mini oreo monsters.
They were all a big hit!

Cool in pan on rack. If desired sprinkle with powdered sugar
MARSHMALLOW MICROWAVE FROSTING

¾ C light corn syrup
1 t vanilla
1. Beat egg whites and salt in small mixing bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar beating until soft peaks form.

My favorite cheesecake recipe ever...
Inga’s cheesecake recipe.
You may substitute low fat for all of the cheese but do not use no fat. Need a 9” springform pan.
½ CUP(1 STICK)
16 OUNCES CREAM CHEESE
2 CUPS(16 OUNCES OR 2 8 OUNCE) RICOTTA
4 LARGE EGGS
3 TABLESPOONS CORNSTARCH
3 TABLESPOONS FLOUR
1 TEASPOON LEMON OR LIME JUICE(I USE 2-3 TEASPOONS)
1 TEASPOON VALILLA(I USE 1 TABLESPOON)
1 ½ CUPS SUGAR
2 CUPS(16OUNCES OR 2 8 OUNCE)PLAIN YOGURT(NOT NO FAT) OR SOUR CREAM. YOU CAN USE EITHER
1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 325 DEGREES. LIGHTLY GREASE PAN.
2. MELT BUTTER, ALLOW TO COOL TO ROOM TEMP.
3. IN LARGE MIXING BOWL, BEAT THE ROOM TEMPERATURE CREAM CHEESE UNTIL LIGHT AND FLUFFY. THEN ADD THE RICOTTA AND CONTINUE TO MIX UNTIL COMPLETELY BLENDED.
4. SLOWLY ADD THE EGGS, CORNSTARCH, FLOUR, LIME JUICE, VANILLA, SUGAR AND SOUR CREAM OR YOGURT BEATING WELL AFTER EACH ADDITION. THEN ADD THE MELTED BUTTER, CONTINUING TO BEAT WELL AND SCRAPE THE SIDES OF THE BOWL FREQUENTLY DURING MIXING.
5. POUR THE MIXTURE INTO THE GREASED SPRINGFORM PAN AND BAKE AT 325 DEGREES FOR ONE HOUR(60 MINUTES).
6. THEN.. TURN OFF THE OVEN AND LEAVE THE CAKE IN THE OVEN WITH THE DOOR CLOSED FOR 2 MORE HOURS. AFTER 2 HOURS, REMOVE FROM OVEN AND ALLOW TO COOL TO ROOM TEMPERATURE. REMOVE THE OUTER BAND OF THE SPRINGFORM PAN(YOU CAN DO THIS AFTER REFRIGERATING IF YOU PREFER). COVER WITH FOIL OR SARAN WRAP TIGHTLY AND REFRIGERATE. THIS IS BETTER IF REFRIGERATED OVERNIGHT BEFORE SERVED BUT YOU MAY SERVE IT AS SOON AS IT IS COLD.
7. SERVE PLAIN OR WITH ANY TOPPING OF CHOICE. GOOD ONES ARE BLUEBERRY OR CHERRY CANNED PIE FILLING, KEY LIME GLAZE OR SYRUP, CHOCOLATE SYRUP, LIQUERS, RASPBERRY PRESERVES ETC. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TRY. ADVICE: WHEN TRYING DIFFERENT TOPPINGS, DO ONE PIECE AT A TIME IN CASE YOU DON’T LIKE IT. YOU CAN ALSO DIVIDE IT INTO 4 SECTIONS AND USE DIFFERENT TOPPINGS FOR ALL 4.
One of my favorite desserts is the Key Lime Pie. This recipe makes two pies and it doesn’t use eggs.
2 8 ounce blocks of cream cheese and I use the 1/3 less fat version(you don’t have to). Let it get soft. Put it in a bowl and add in 2 14-ounce cans of sweetened condensed milk. I use the less fat version of this too. I mix these together with the electric mixer. Make sure there are no lumps. Add a bit more than ½ cup of Key Lime Juice. Yes, you can use the stuff in the bottle. When this is all mixed, fold in 12 ounces of Cool Whip. That’s it. Now I scoop this into two Chocolate Graham Cracker Pie Shells. The regular graham cracker shells work as well.
You may have a little filling left over, depending on size and brand of the pie shells. If you do, just put the rest in little Pyrex bowls or whatever and refrigerate, eat them like pudding.

TRIFLE RECIPE
2 LARGE VANILLA PUDDINGS (COOKED NOT INSTANT)
2 8 OZ. CREAM CHEESE SOFTENED
2 POUND CAKES OR LADY FINGERS
FRUITS OF ANY KIND DESIRED. I USE BLUEBERRIES, RASPBERRIES, STRAWBERRIES AND BANANAS. ON THE TOP ADD SOME KIWI TO THE OTHER FRUITS TO MAKE IT LOOK EXTRA PRETTY..
LAYER CAKE , PUDDING, AND FRUIT UNTIL BOWL IS FILLED
REFRIGERATE. USE A CLEAR BOWL IF YOU HAVE ONE BECAUSE THIS IS VERY FANCY LOOKING YET SO EASY.
*NOTE- IF YOU ARE MAKING THIS THE DAY BEFORE OR EXPECT TO HAVE LOTS OF IT LEFT OVER, YOU MAY WANT TO SUBSTITUTE THE BANANAS WITH PINEAPPLE OR ANOTHER FRUIT BECAUSE THEY WILL TURN BROWN.
Thank you ... and you’re right on both counts!!
I have followed her blog for a long time. So glad she got a show. Her cinnamon roll recipe is the BEST anywhere ever.
I love her website.. i’ve been going there for a long time.
The step by step pictures of everything she makes look great.

mouth watering
I grew up in Cleveland & my mom made a form of Western/Texas Chili
Went to college in Kent & dated a fella from Cinti. Went to his home for Thanksgiving vacation & had Cinti chili for first time. Found it unusual & amazing
married to boy from kent & he would make crock pots of it for his office, who also never had it. Now you can readily get it in cans or the package mixes & make your own easily
All the cheese piled on top was great! the 5 way was my style.
pioneer woman is great.. also can follow her on Facebook
Super yum!
You’re a good mom!
Nice job on the cake. Looks yummy! :)
I used to watch Food Network almost exclusively, but stopped watching at all when it turned into a food oriented game show channel.
Do you have a link for the frittelle recipe? Most of the ones I found online are sweet, not savory.
Frittelle is like a generic term for fried things. You can use your favorite pizza dough. I always make the recipe by memory.
This is about how it is:
Trillian’s Frittelle
2 1/2 cups of warm water
4 teaspoons of yeast
2 teaspoon of sugar
6-7 cups of unbleached flour
1- 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon of salt
In a kitchenaid bowl mix together water, yeast and sugar. Cover and let proof for about 5 minutes in a warm place. Use a kneading hook. Add salt, olive oil and gradually add flour until dough pulls away from bowl and is not too sticky. Turn down out on floured board and knead for a few minutes. Cover and let rest and rise for 30 minutes.
Using a dough scraper, cut dough into 2 - 2 1/2 inch pieces and form into balls. Cover with towel until all are ready to roll. On a floured wooden board roll dough circles out flat (about 1/2 cm thick or so). Fill with tomato sauce and seasonings or your favorite jarred sauce (about 1 teaspoon) and mozzarella. You can fill them with whatever you want. Fold over dough and press down your your fingers closing it. I dip a fork in flour and then make marks around the edges closing it.
Some of my kids like plain ones so just rolling out the dough flat and cutting it into pieces for those. They will puff up when they fry.
When you are done, heat peanut or corn oil to 350 F and deep fry them turning once. Drain on paper towels and salt them.
Thank you very much!
It’s ironic. I spent all day online looking up calzone, turnovers, empanadas, pastellillos (sp?) that looked as good as the ones you made, and you had already posted the recipe lol!
I hope you like them :) I make them for special occasions and everyone loves them. It’s a tradition in my family to make them on Christmas Eve too so everyone looks forward to that.
The next time I make them i’m going to fill some with a sauteed green onion and tomato mixture with mozzarella. It’s the same filling I put in my calzone.
