Easy Baked (Everyday) Cheesecake »
This cheesecake is very simple, perfect for everyday dessert. Most cheesecake recipes call for 2 -5 (8oz) boxes of creamcheese, that’s just too much (expensive too ) and reason enough for me to only make cheesecakes on special ocassions but I can’t always wait for a birthday or anniversary to come so I thought why not make a practical [...]
