Okay, I won't even TALK about how long it's been since my last post!  As you can imagine, I've been really busy.  Unfortunately, it's been doing other things that don't involve cheesecake.  But fortunately, I have something new to offer!  Well, it's not new in the sense that it hasn't been done before.  It's just new to me and my site.

Earlier this year, my manager at work gave me two trashbags full of clothing she couldn't wear anymore.  One of my co-workers and I went through the bags togeth...

Happy February!  January seemed to have flown by so quickly.  Just yesterday we were giving New Year's kisses and making jokes about not seeing each other since "last year."  Now, we've consulted Mr. Phil (and he's declared an early spring) and we're preparing our hearts for love.

I've come up with something fresh just tonight. While preparing some pies for a Super Bowl party tomorrow afternoon, I decided to try something different with the run-of-the-mill strawberry cheesecake.  Since I first...

Well, yesterday was an EPIC day for muffins!

I have increased the awesomeness of muffins by adding the awesomeness of cheesecake.  I'm proud to introduce carrot cheesecake layered muffins.  I have added the recipe yesterday to allrecipes.com, but after checking just now, it's not up...I'll work on that again.

I will post pics soon.  Kawaii Five-Oh! will be adding a dozen cheesecake muffins to its store for $15.  ^_^

Be excited with me!

I've been really cooking it up tonight!  It's late...and I'm really tired, but I wanted to quickly share my newest thing! Pudding cheesecakes! ^_^  Today I made banana pudding and pistachio pudding.  I have a couple of pics...but since the pies are not for me, I don't have slice photos....rather, the banana pudding cheesecake isn't (I may be able to get some pics of a slice tomorrow...if I'm lucky) and I dropped the pistachio as I was pulling it out of the oven (so it's not the prettiest).

A new house!!!!

Come on down!  I can't say how excited I am these days.  Well, I could...but that may be going a little over the top.  Kawaii Five-Oh! is packing up and moving out.  It's like being called on the Price is Right and getting the opportunity to see just how far you can go.  I can't wait to start cooking up in the new kitchen, experimenting even more with the increase in space.

After this Saturday, March 20th, Kawaii Five-Oh! will be located in Rockville, MD. I have had a wonderful ...

It's really feeling like winter now.  After a warm autumn, I was really beginning to wonder about this winter.  Today, it started out in the 20's and hopefully it will rise to the 50's (okay, wishful thinking on my part).  I'm not too fond of the cold, but I am a huge fan of snow and ice and of the delicious flavors that this season brings about.

Gone are the days of fresh berries, now we are enjoying squash, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and nuts.  We are decorating our homes with evergreen garlan...
