Chocolate Chip Cheesecake-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes

So here’s a scenario from my an imaginary 20-something woman’s life: Let’s say this woman just got a job teaching as a sessional instructor at a large college in a large North American city.  She’s very keen to do well on the job and practice all she’s learned about pedagogy. Her office, as it turns […]

Separated at Birth: Apricot-Swirl Cheesecake Bars (Baked)

by Ricki Heller 30 Comments

Have you seen those magazine and website series called “Separated at Birth”?  They usually feature two celebs (sometimes, a celeb and an animal or even a celeb and inanimate object) that–in that one particular photo, at least–eerily resemble each other. The phrase, of course, refers to the phenomenon popularized by certain nature-vs-nurture studies revealing that […]

Raw Apricot Swirl Cheesecake Mini Pies

by Ricki Heller 59 Comments

Such a Tease

by Ricki Heller 26 Comments

I’ve never been what I’d call a “good” flirt.  In high school, I hung out with the nerdy crowd (hard to believe, I know!), so there wasn’t really any opportunity to flirt.  Then, when I was finally old enough to attract the opposite sex in my 20s, it seemed too late to get the hang of […]

When Cheesecake is Love*

by Ricki Heller 29 Comments

*apologies to Geneen Roth   [Well, I really hadn’t meant to write about my mother for two entries in a row.  Maybe it was all of your wonderful comments about yesterday’s “mom story”; maybe it was an offshoot of Mother’s Day earlier in the month; maybe I’m just feeling all mushy and sentimental after watching the over-the-top , tear-filled […]
