The following is a paid review of Would You Like Some Cheesecake?

Not that I’m still baking cheesecake these days. I’ve long stopped, especially after reading Dr. Weil’s guidelines about cream cheese. I make my own cream cheese these days, out of strained homemade yogurt — yum! It even makes good yogurt frosting for carrot cake. When I perfect it, I think I’ll try making cheesecake again, as it’s something we all love.

But getting back to the task at hand… here’s what I think about the Moms Who Thinks’ cheesecake page:

I love that there are so many cheesecake recipes on it. Several that caught my eye: Black Forest Cheesecake, Cappuccino Cheesecake, Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake (gotta find out if it *is* a good copycat recipe!), and the White Chocolate Cherry Pecan. I’d rather not try another Key Lime because last time I made that it was soooo sour…. though still delicious. It did take me about half an hour just to squeeze those key limes by hand (now that I have a juicer it shouldn’t be as difficult!). My friend and I ate a good part of a 10-inch one just because we were the only ones in the house, LOL, but I digress…

Other things I like about this site: I love that there are recipes by the week, that there are crock pot recipes (need to add to my repertoire), healthy recipes, I especially appreciate the fact that prime rib is in their easy category — it IS easy, but many people think you’ve slaved over it when you prepare it for holidays. And yum, many chicken recipes too.

Things I didn’t quite like so much about the site: I always feel like ads make sites impersonal, and makes me less likely to visit often. Not true, of course, of known commercial sites such as Epicurious or Food and Wine. But still. And I really would be more comfortable with the site if it had an “About Us” section, because the one question in my mind that I didn’t get answered perusing the site was “Who in the world is Mama Shirley?”

After all, the site is titled “Moms Who Think”. Well, this mom’s thinking. 🙂
