Seems my blogging lately has been related to our food days at work. This month's theme is our mother's best recipe. Unfortunately, the two recipes that I think are mom's best aren't suitable for the bus trip into the office.
I did my recipe prep over a couple of evenings. First I cooked the chicken, cooled it and refrigerated the broth overnight. I got a big ol' slab of fat from the top resulting from the night in the fridge. I picked the chicken and then put everything together the night before taking it to work.
Of course, I had to do a sampling to make sure it as fit to take to work <grin>. As luck would have it, my eating a bowl reduced the quantity just enough for the remaining chicken and dumplings to fit into the Tupperware bowl for transporting. I was thrilled to have kept myself from having seconds!
I can't wait for our potluck tomorrow and having another serving of this comforting dish!
Peanut butter lovers, this one's for you! This is my most requested cheesecake ever! I took this to work once, was asked the recipe, then later requested to bring it to a meeting, which I did. The last time I made it I had to tag that friend for a copy of my recipe with notes because I couldn't find mine. By putting it on my blog, I should not have that problem ever again....of course, unless I forget that I posted it! But we won't talk about how good our memory cells are or aren't right?
Today we had our monthly potluck at work and I decided to make this one rather than the chocolate one I posted recently. This cheesecake continues to get rave reviews. I didn't bring home a single crumb, which was significant because there were a lot of folks taking off today for their 4th of July holiday. Others were working from home. Given the number of folks in the office, I was fully expecting to be bringing half, if not more, of the cheesecake home with me. I'm thrilled that my prediction didn't come true.
This cheesecake is a little extra work but worth every ounce of effort. Your family, guests, friends or co-workers will love love love it! I know a few of my followers who will almost lick the screen when they see these photos and read the recipe.
I can only say it is a very rich, but amazingly yummy cheesecake. Try it, you'll like it!
