Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes
Source: Martha Stewart

42 Oreos, 30 left whole and 12 coarsely chopped
2 pounds (32 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sour cream
pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 275°. Line standard muffin pans with liners. Place 1 whole cookie in the bottom of each liner.

Beat cream cheese at medium speed using an electric mixer. Gradually add the sugar, beating until combined. Beat in vanilla.

Drizzle in eggs, a bit at a time. Beat in sour cream and salt. Stir in chopped cookies by hand.

Divide batter evenly among cookie-lined cups, filling each almost to the top. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until filling is set, about 22 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or up to overnight). Remove from tins just before serving. Best served really cold! You can garnish with fresh whipped cream and crumbled Oreos if desired.

Makes 30 cheesecakes.

I love his HAIR

Everyone knows that I'm ready to have another baby.  However, its not happening for some reason.  I want a SON!!  I have him named, I've felt his spirit, and I know he is mine.  I just don't know how I'm going to get him here.  With that said, my husband has the BEST hair.  Its thick and dark and gorgeous!  It started out as kind of a joke about him growing out his hair for me, but then I really started to like the long hair look on him.  Now we joke that he's going to grow it out until we get our little boy.  Folks, it could get REALLY long!!  Ha Ha
