I'm feeling sinful so here are some sinful recipes...

WARNING: if you are on any kind of be healthy diet, this post is not for you! This post contains 3 delicious unhealthy recipes that I would eat all at once if I could.


I just found this recipe on dessert.com and am thinking about making it to take to the Super Bowl party we've been invited to. It's called Chocolate Royale Cheesecake Squares.

What You Need

24 OREO Cookies, crushed (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, melted
4 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pkg. (8 squares) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted, slightly cooled
4 eggs

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 325°F. Mix crumbs and butter; press firmly onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake 10 minutes.

BEAT cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add melted chocolate; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust.

BAKE 45 to 50 minutes or until center is almost set. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Cut into 32 squares to serve. Store leftover dessert squares in refrigerator.



And since I'm feeling extra unhealthy, here is another yummy dessert recipe.

Lemon Cake

(Jeanne Trogdon)

1 pkg. lemon cake mix

4 eggs

¾ c oil

1 1/3 c water

3 oz pkg. lemon jell-o

Mix together and follow directions on cake mix box for baking. When done, poke cake full of holes with fork. Mix 1 ½ c powdered sugar and juice from 2 lemons and pour over warm cake.


I got this recipe from my Grandma Trogdon. It is THE BEST lemon cake I've ever tasted! It stays moist for a long time because of the yummy glaze you pour over it. Quite possibly my favorite cake.



And here is another recipe that I think sounds freaking yummy even though it's not a dessert.


Pull-Apart Bacon Bread

(Kraft Food and Family)

12 bacon strips, diced

1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella

1 envelope (1 ounce) ranch salad dressing mix

In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat for 5 minutes or until partially cooked; drain on paper towels. Roll out dough to 1/2-in. thickness; brush with 1 tablespoon of oil. Cut into 1-in. pieces; place in a large bowl. Add the bacon, cheese, dressing mix and remaining oil; toss to coat.
Arrange pieces in a 9-in. x 5-in. oval on a greased baking sheet, layering as needed. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled.
Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Cover with foil; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until golden brown. Yield: 1 loaf



Can you say YUMMY!?


Anyway, now that I've worked myself up into an uncontrollable food frenzy... I'm going to go make some double fudge brownies.

Ok really did you have to post this today... I'm pretty sure I've gained probably 10 lbs since we moved, sweets, sweets, sweets, and no walking = not a good idea!

Sorry Stacey. I have to get all these unhealthy recipes out of my system before I am not pregnant anymore. I am enjoying being pregnant. I can eat whatever the heck I want and I don't gain anything. I've only gained 6 pounds so far. But I'm sure when I'm not it will come back to bite me.

Enough bragging about the weight thing. I am afraid I will gain 100 pounds this pregnancy because all I can do is lay down and eat. That's it.

Anyway, I am an idiot. I have not read your blog since you made it private! I had you subscribed in my google reader but I forgot it doesn't update private blogs. So here I was thinking you just hadn't posted in a long time. Anyway, I am glad to catch up, and I'm sorry about your rough time. Sounds like you are making the best of it. I admire that.

Oh Roxanne, you won't gain 100 pounds :). Are you sick for your whole pregnancy or just for the first trimester?
