How I Celebrated
Ok, so I worked between these two recipes: (kraft, taste of home) and found I didn't have quite enough cream cheese, so I decided to do some math based on how much I had (enough for a little more than half the recipe). With measuring equipment not quite exacting to the decimal, I had to play around with the amounts, they are not all accurate. Also, using whipped greek yogurt cream cheese, I didn't know how that would change the recipe. It was not as firm/stable so I decided to add a bit more flour, but it was a lot easier to cream with the sugar (you don't need to soften it). It was also strawberry flavored so it will be a white chocolate strawberry cheesecake. I decided before I started that it probably would not fit into a full graham cracker pie crust being half a recipe, so I remade the pie crust into the mini cupcake size ones. After mixing the ingredients though, it probably would have filled it just fine as I had enough for the full dozen (it is hard to conceptualize oz for me, but at least I cut down the baking time!) We used Ghiradelli white chocolate chips, and I'm saving the rest of mine for future baking endeavors, but the plus of having extra is you can make some delicious topping if you want. I put some of Nate's fruit compote on top of mine. Yum!
Diet Helpers
Sugar Free
Try this raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake that is sugar free. There at least used to be sugar free oreos. You may find a different sandwich cookie brand that is to your liking.Gluten Free
The gluten free white chocolate lemon cheesecake is from the minimalist baker today. Even Walmart is offering a gluten free sandwich cookie, that is how popular the cookie and the diet are.
Vegetarian
You are a go for all three! (just freeze your veggies of course)

- Here are some make ahead freezer recipes from Southern Living
History
PunchbowlI would like to know what the original cheese cake used to taste like. It does not sound as delicious, but hey, anything for special powers, am I right, Nacho?
I think that I would benefit from making freezer meals, but I really just do not have enough freezer space.
Also, question for everyone. What is the best kind of oreo? There are so many flavors in China that I do not see here at all. A ton of hybrid flavors. Most of them are fruit flavors. I think my happiest encounters are double stuffed or uh-oh oreos.
Merchandise
I'm still trying to decide if the oreo barbie is racist or not.Follow Molly's board March 6 Merch on Pinterest.
Restaurants
- Can you believe I still have not eaten at the Cheesecake Factory? Might be too trendy (read: expensive) for me.
- Granger and Co popped up on trip advisor (they are in London so plan accordingly)
- If you go to a fast food restaurant, it is most likely anything you order was frozen before you ate it, so that one is easy.
- Here are some places in NY that use oreos in their dishes
- You can probably go to any ice cream place and get cookies in cream ice cream or a shake. Good choice.
