Mouthwatering Mondays {Week 61}

Happy Monday, y’all!

Look at this gorgeous cheesecake that my brother made for my birthday!

 

That’s a strawberry cheesecake with a cocoa puff crust, chocolate ganache glaze, and a blackberry infused white chocolate drizzle.  {I know!!!} The garnish was fresh blackberries and real mint.

  It was out of this world incredible.  It was light and fluffy, the fresh strawberries made it incredibly succulent.  Nathan hates cheesecake, but after one bite of my piece he snagged his own slice and ate the whole thing!  I’m going to try to get my brother to share the recipe with me so I can share it with y’all.  Heis the executive chef of Blackwater Draw in College Station; if you’re ever in the area stop in and eat some scrumptious food and tell him Hi!  His name is William.

Y’all shared some incredible recipes last week!  I can’t wait to see what y’all have been cooking this past week! Here are a few of my favorites from last week’s link-up.

I adore Life with The Crust Cut Off, and these Lemon Oatmeal Iced Tea Cookies sound like a delicious bit of homemade summer!  I love how she incoporated a couple of her mom’s favorite things to make her a sweet treat.  Y’all hop on oever and say Hi and check out her Lemon Oatmeal Iced Tea Cookies!

 

Blueberries are a weakness of mine.  Monkey joins me in my blueberry passion.  I about fell out of my chair when I saw this gorgeous Rustic Blueberry Galette recipe linked up from A Hungry Pilgrim.  I can’t wait to try this!  I wish I had a blueberry patch so I could make dozens of these, I’d share, promise!

 

Triscuits are pretty much a staple pantry item in our house.  We take them camping, on the boat, on picnics, in the backyard.. whatever.  I would never have thought to pair them strawberries and balsamic vinegar, though.  These Strawberry Ricotta Bites from Home Cooking Memories are pretty much genius, and gorgeous!
