Yesterday I saw a huge transport truck with Oreo cookies emblazoned all over it. 6' tall Oreos. So in honor of this sighting, I thought I'd post a recipe for Oreo Cheesecake. This recipe combines two of my favorite food groups! Oreos and Cheesecake. O.K., a little liberty there on actual food groups. But, the great thing about this recipe is it's quick and easy. No bake!

Oreo Cheesecake

I follow lots of bakers, foodies, cooks and chefs on Twitter. Yesterday a link struck my fancy. I was at Food & Fizz, a great site for "food porn" with links to the blogs and websites. Food porn is not what you're thinking. Food porn refers to great photos of food.

The first photo on Food & Fizz was for an Oreo Cheesecake. Clicking the link I went to Stick to Your Hips. Now that's a very apt name for this blog. I spent some time on this site, but I was really impressed by my first click: the Oreo Cheesecake. Great and easy recipe. Good comments about cheesecake, in general. I love a good cheesecake, and I can't wait to make this one!

There was no email link for this blogger, so I wasn't able to ask permission to use the recipe and photo. I tried to post a comment, but it wouldn't post. Maybe it's Blogger, maybe it's me. Anyway, here's the link to: Oreo Cheesecake. You won't be sorry. Unless, of course, it Sticks to Your Hips!
