Chocolate Oreo Cream Cheese Bars

I had Oreo's in the cabinet.

I don't usually buy Oreo's unless I need them for a recipe.

These Oreo's were a "gift!" They had sat there long enough that I decided I'd do something with them.

So here's my little concoction.

I'm not sure if it's a new favorite of mine or not -- but the Mr. and two Cherubs really loved it.

Chocolate Oreo Cream Cheese Bars

Cake Layer

1 cake mix; I used milk chocolate

2 eggs

1 stick of butter, melted

Oreo cookies, broken

Cream Cheese Mixture

1 package cream cheese, softened

2 eggs

4 cups powdered sugar (1 pound)

1-2 tsp. vanilla, depending on taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix cake mix, 2 eggs, and butter together. You'll have a very stiff dough.

Grease a 9X13 pan and press the dough into the pan evenly.

Using your hands, break the Oreo's and evenly sprinkle them on top of the dough. I used 15-20 cookies; you can use as much or as little as you like . . . and.that all depend on how many Oreo's are left in the package!

Cream the cream cheese and eggs together. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time, mixing thoroughly. Alternate with a bit of vanilla. I used 2 tsp. of vanilla because I like my vanilla.

Pour cream cheese mixture over Oreo/cake mixture. Using a spatula, push the cream mixture over the entire surface.

Place in oven. Bake for 35-45 minutes; checking after 30 minutes. You'll want the top to be golden, but the cream cheese mixture, although thin, should set up similar to a cheesecake. It's hard to test for doneness.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity. It is a wonderful experience! And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant. It's delish! So back to the casserole. After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe! The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret! It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr. Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure! When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy! Especial
