I’m back! I want to thank everyone for their patience and support during my recent absence. Between launching products at work and enjoying time with my new fiancee, the blog has taken a backseat. After the wedding, I will have to rename ‘Cooking-4-One’ as I will be cooking for one and a half (as she puts it). We will see what we come up with for a new name. Of course, I look forward to introducing her to all of you as well as having her add her own recipes here! Now for everyone that enjoys pumpkin spice time of year, this no-bake pumpkin mousse is for you. I made this recipe with full amounts of the major ingredients of pumpkin…
How about another cheesecake recipe, this time perfect for any Fall celebration? Here is a versatile and surprisingly easy cheesecake recipe that will definitely delight your friends and guests. The versatility of this recipe is in the construction – you can layer the pumpkin filling or swirl it throughout if you are feeling especially creative for the marbled effect.

As for topping, I went with half in a cinnamon sugar coating and the other half glazed. Naturally, I opted to make a bourbon glaze which added an interesting and enjoyable flavor. Bring these to share with work colleagues, friends watching football (or baseball), or just to…
Here are the photographic results of a dessert experiment I made recently. I have to say the experiment was close, but no cigar. The crust I used was a blend of graham cracker and ginger snap (that part works!), but the cheesecake batter was lacking what I wanted to achieve. So I will try, try again until I get it right!
