These Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers are loaded with onions, mushrooms, and thinly shaved steak smothered in warm cheese and tucked inside of a baked bell pepper.

Dang, so much for a tomato or two, I needed a dump truck. (A good problem to have though, I admit.) (more…)

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

This is probably one of the best ways you’ll ever eat cheesecake, hands down.

I love making these for friends, or even making a batch for myself and keeping them in the freezer. These make a phenomenal frozen treat, especially during this hot summer months. (more…)
