Cheesecakes are fast becoming a holiday tradition in our house. We love them. And I love to make them with my son. We’ve been cooking and baking together since he was able to stand.
We recently made an Oreo Cheesecake together. My son did it pretty much did it all while I read the directions and took the photos.

And in this corner… Red Velvet Cheesecake weighing in at six pounds.
Yes, you read that correctly, a six pound cheesecake. While it may have been heavy, it didn’t taste that way.
I only make this recipe every couple of years mainly because it is time consuming. Plan on it being a two day process. I recently made it for Christmas.
This is what my limited counter space looks like when I bake a recipe like this.
The cooling process is time consuming. It has to cool in the oven for 30 minutes then another 30 minutes on the rack and finally in the fridge of eight hours.
The Red Velvet Cheesecake has two layers.
Finally, ready to be eaten. Drool, drool, drool.
Red Velvet Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts to make. It is a special event dessert. And well worth all of the time. It is a knockout!

Eggs Benedict. I’ve been hesitate about trying to make this dish. Always wanted to, but breakfasts aren’t my strong point. The poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce were my blocks. Seemed so difficult.
Recently I had Eggs Benedict at the Reston Hyatt and loved it. A lot and made the decision I was going to try. I mean after all I make some complex dishes and pastries so why couldn’t I make Eggs Benedict well?
Instead of making something sweet for Christmas Breakfast, I chose to do savory. Eggs Benedict was it.
It wasn’t as hard as I thought with the right equipment: egg poacher insert and Knorr Hollandaise sauce mix. Only tough part was getting everything to be done at the sametime.
I think I’m hooked!
And by the way, thumbs up at our house! It was wonderful!
What was your Christmas Breakfast?

Yes, you read that correct. Chicken Curry for Thanksgiving dinner. And it was wonderful!
We had celebrated a traditional Thanksgiving dinner as a family the Saturday before. We jumped at celebrating a holiday together since we were all in the same state.
So having Chicken Curry on the actual holiday wasn’t a big deal. In fact, it was a great meal. Quick and easy. No fuss here.
This Chicken Curry recipe is one of my all-time favorites I found in Real Simple.
