This easy recipe combines two of our favorite treats - cinnamon rolls and cheesecake - into the ultimate dessert. Cinnamon rolls on the bottom make a yummy base for a thick and creamy cheesecake layer. The buttery crescent roll layer on top creates a sugary cinnamon crust. Rich and decadent, this is easy to prepare and easy to eat! We discarded the icing from the cinnamon rolls, but they could easily be drizzled on top for even more decadence.

When looking for a potato side dish and don't feel like ordinary French fries, try potato wedges

When looking for a potato side dish, and don't feel like ordinary French fries, try potato wedges. They're thick slices of potatoes that are soft and fluffy inside, and crispy on the edges. Seasoned with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and cayenne pepper, there's a slight kick. Parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese melt on top for an extra touch of decadence. These potato wedges are a tasty general side dish for steak, chicken, or burgers. Or, dip in...

A wonderful, hearty chili dip that's full of flavor - Mexican lasagna chip dip

A wonderful, hearty chili dip that's full of flavor. The slightly spicy meat layer has chunks of salsa, chopped chiles, and jalapenos. Cream cheese adds a bit of creaminess. When baked, the cream cheese, along with the shredded Mexican cheese, is nice and gooey. It's a great cheese dip served with tortilla chips, but corn chip scoops would be nice too. A great addition to taco night or game day snacking.

Tres leches cake is a vanilla sponge cake with three types of milk poured over the top - Quick tres leches cups

Tres leches cake is a vanilla sponge cake with three types of milk poured over the top. We loved the twist to the classic Mexican dessert in these cups. They are creamy and have all the flavors of a tres leches cake without the work. Since this is a no-bake dessert, it's great for summer. A mixture of whole, evaporated, and condensed milk soaks into the crumbled pound cake. Top with a dusting of cinnamon, whipped cream, and a cherry for an...

This venison chili is a great recipe for someone that's new to cooking venison - Hunter's sweet 'n spicy chili

This venison chili is a great recipe for someone that's new to cooking venison. Using venison and beef takes away the gamey flavor some people find from venison. The combination of savory and sweet with a punch of spice makes this the perfect chili. We loved the addition of corn and BBQ sauce. They add a bit of sweetness. Overall, this is a flavorful chili recipe. If you have leftovers, we highly recommend you try Leah's suggestion over bowtie...
