Easy Holiday Recipes: Easiest Cheesecake Ever

The holiday season is upon us and if you are looking for a dish that not only wows them but is also quick and easy, this easy cheesecake recipe is a dessert lovers dream.

I used to prepare it using the Diamond peppermint chocolate nut graham cracker pie crust.  OMGgggggggg... so good BUT the company no longer makes this variety (insert super sad face) but any graham cracker crust will do.

I typically use two packages of cream cheese in my cheesecakes but this recipe only calls for 1 package of cream cheese which means you can splurge and get the good stuff 😉

The recipe is just 4 ingredients, the graham cracker pie crust plus any special add-ins like chocolate chips, crushed peppermint candies, nuts or whatever you like.  A few minutes in the oven and tada you've got the best-est dessert ever.

Let's get to it.

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 pkg. cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup sweetener (I use Splenda, but you can use sugar)
  • 1 graham cracker pie crust
Add-ins:  Chocolate chips, crushed candies

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
  2. Use mixer to blend egg, vanilla, sweetener, and cream cheese until smooth
  3. Pour into crust
  4. Bake 30 minutes or until center is set.
  5. Cool in fridge at least 2 hours
It's that simple

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla


1 package of cream cheese


1/3 cup sweetener (I use Splenda, but you can use sugar)


1 of your favorite pie crust shells

1. Preheat oven 
2. Mix all ingredients and pour into your pie shell and bake for 30 minutes.

I'll have to snap a pic of the final product.  I am baking a couple of these including one in my air fryer and I'll share that recipe in an updated post later.

HAPPY BAKING!!!

Jeepers! It's January Hop

Happy New Year! What better way to kick off the new year than with a giveaway! I am so excited to join The Mommy Island, The Kids Did It and 90+ other fab blogs in the first big giveaway hop of 2018! Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.   O M G This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.   I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.   I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82.  We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly.  "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta."   We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one.  There were literally dozens of tamale spots.  We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant.  The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales.   There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual  Delta Hot Ta
