I got so many useful comments from the community on my cookie dilemma entry that I figure it's time to throw out another mystery for your consideration…. (Bonus lesson: do NOT refresh your blog entry while previewing it, or it is gone Gone GONE forever! Sigh.) My wonder MORE

About this Cook
I'm a writer and publishing exec for a couple of niche magazines in Baltimore, MD. Four years ago I married the greatest guy in the world, and we have two four-legged babies -- Arwen the Wonder Pup (a Silky Terrier) and Casey, the Best Kitty Ever (a black tux cat).
My favorite things to cook
Lasagna; strawberry shortcake; a million different chicken recipes; marinades for all the meats my husband loves to grill; creative salads; holiday meals for our family. I really love summer meals when I can pick fresh vegetables right from our garden and turn them into dinner!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Christmas cookies, my Mom's 1-2-3-4 cake, my Dad's peach cake, and my sister and I taking turns hosting Thanksgiving and Christmas meals for the family.

Company Cheesecake
I've tried many of the cheesecake recipes on this site, and IMO this is the best. Rich, creamy, delicious! I ended up subbing 1/4 cup of sour cream for the whipping cream (we like the taste better), and I play with different versions of the crust each time. But this cheesecake is fantastic!

Sopapilla Cheesecake Pie
Delicious -- can't wait to take it to our playoff tailgate tomorrow! I used the big, flaky kind of crescents, so I had more than enough dough for top & bottom. I sprinkled some crushed pecans on top with the butter, cinnamon and sugar, just because I had them left over from the crust of a regular cheesecake I was making -- that turned out to be a tasty addition. But this is an awesome recipe as is, and I'll definitely be making it again.

Crepes
Very good basic recipe. I made it exactly as directed, and my only complaint is that it's a bit bland. That's not the worst thing for crepes, since they're sort of meant to be a blank palette for whatever flavors you want to add, but I did wish for a little more flavor from them. This will be a good base for experimenting, though.
