🍒 Cherry Cheesecake with a Gingersnap Crust
|
Hey Reader! My mom used to make a homemade cheesecake topped with cherry pie filling during the Christmas holiday, and it was always my favorite! With a family crowd of 20+ people, you had to act fast to get a piece! Now, I just make one a little bit early to enjoy with my smaller family, and another one for the big group to devour!
Make this from scratch cherry cheesecake with gingersnap crust. It's perfectly textured, and the optional cherries on top make it a crowd favorite! If you don't like cherries, you can skip the topping and devour the gingersnap crust and cheesecake by itself. It's great either way! This recipe calls for homemade einkorn gingersnaps, but you can use store-bought cookies if you are able!

Thick and creamy, this classic Potato Leek Soup is full of the rich flavors of potatoes, leeks, bacon, and chicken stock.

While the weather is technically warming up here already (though, as I write this, it's actually pretty chilly), I'm doing all I can to cling to the cool-weather mentality. I'm not quite ready for temps in the 90's yet! So, in an effort to enjoy the last moments...
We have been growing spinach here in Texas for over 9 years (even during the summer!), which may be a surprise considering the high heat that we experience. However, once you understand what spinach needs and which varieties are suitable for your area, spinach is a very simple crop to grow! Not only is it very easy to grow, but it's also very versatile when it comes to eating it... from smoothies to salads, sauteed, and more! Start your spinach now and grow it through the first hard freeze in...
Hey Reader! Now, more than ever, it's so important for you to have an emergency food supply on hand. And not as protection from societal collapse... or at least not only because of that. Having a solid month of food for your family is crucial for times of financial uncertainty, job loss, or even natural disasters! But I've heard from so many people that they either... Don't have a supply at all... Have no idea if the food is still good... Or have food in their stash that they would NEVER eat!...
