Caramel Macchiato Cheesecake

This is by far my most successful experiment.  We had a graduation cookout and I wanted to try my hand at something no one would think I would try.  I went full force ahead and tried a cheesecake.  Everything I read online made it sound really scary, but I was not to be put off.  Not only did I make the cheesecake, but I also made the caramel! Crazy I know, but that took me less than 10 minutes. Who knew!!!!

I need to learn how to take better pictures because that doesn't look so good.  I've gotten many compliments on the cheesecake and even some request to make more. Yah me!!!!

Here are pictures of the caramel in progress, thanks to DH for his great camera work.


Melting sugar

 

Adding butter

Adding cream

All done, easier than I thought

    

Pizza anyone?

I feel like I haven't blogged in years when in actuality it's only being two weeks!!

Life has been busy, but that hasn't stopped me from baking and trying my very best to fight the ever growing battle with my good old friend "yeast".

Hubby and I have decided to make Friday nights, Pizza Nights.  We had a very good friend that made the first batch of yeast dough for us.  We've enjoyed eating homemade pizza so far, even though I have yet to make a yeast dough on my own.

Enjoy the pictures below of the delicious pizzas we've had. I hope to make a yeast dough soon.
