Cooking
1 . Stage
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with 4 layers of aluminum foil.
2 . Stage
Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until finely chopped. Add butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; pulse until incorporated, about 5 times. Transfer crumb mixture to the prepared pan and press evenly over the bottom and halfway up the sides.
3 . Stage
Bake in the preheated oven until fragrant and starting to turn crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
4 . Stage
Combine cream cheese, mascarpone, and remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until completely smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down sides as necessary. Add sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt; mix until combined, about 30 seconds. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix on low until just incorporated. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
5 . Stage
Pour cheesecake mixture into prepared cookie crust. Top cheesecake with 1/4 cup of the remaining chocolate chips and place entire pan into a large roasting pan. Transfer to the center rack in oven and carefully pour boiling water into the roasting pan to come up 1 inch on the sides of the springform pan, being careful to not let water get into cheesecake.
6 . Stage
Bake until filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center, 60 to 65 minutes. Turn oven off and prop the door open. Let cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and take cheesecake out of the roasting pan. Set aside to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until fully chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
7 . Stage
Place remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Microwave heavy cream until hot but not boiling, about 1 minute. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit, undisturbed, for 5 minutes. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir until smooth and shiny. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
8 . Stage
While ganache cools, run a sharp paring knife around edges of crust to loosen from pan. Remove sides of springform pan. Run knife around bottom of cheesecake to loosen. Gently shimmy, or use large spatulas, to transfer cheesecake onto a cake stand or serving plate.
9 . Stage
Top cheesecake with chocolate ganache leaving 1-inch uncovered around the perimeter of the cheesecake. Crumble speculoos cookies; sprinkle over ganache. Place candy kisses on top of uncovered perimeter of cheesecake. Slice and serve cold or at room temperature.

1 . Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
2 . Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Add chicken strips; cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. Cut into cubes.
3 . Transfer chicken to a large bowl. Add chicken gravy, cream of chicken soup, evaporated milk, stuffing mix, onion, garlic, celery seed, and black pepper; mix until combined.

Cook until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add spinach and 2 tablespoons marinade. Reduce heat to medium-low and saute for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
1 . Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 . Combine 2/3 cup horseradish mustard, bourbon, brown sugar, honey, and liquid smoke together in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer glaze, stirring frequently, until thickened, at least 30 minutes.
3 . Liberally coat ham with the remaining horseradish mustard and place in a roasting pan. Spoon glaze over ham.
4 . Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally, until until the internal temperature of the ham has reached 160 degrees F (72 degrees C), about 2 hours. (Generally bake 22 minutes per pound.)
1 . Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

3 . Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
1 . In a saucepan, bring water and bouillon cubes to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 50 minutes, or until rice is tender and all liquid has been absorbed.
2 . Heat oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook zucchini and onion until tender, but still slightly firm, about 5 minutes. Stir in cumin, oregano, lentils, and about 6 cups water gradually. Bring to a soft boil, and continue cooking until lentils are tender, 45 to 60 minutes, adding water as needed.
3 . Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4 . Mix the cooked rice together with the lentils, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in 3/4 of the Cheddar cheese, and transfer mixture into a 9x13 inch pan. Mix remaining cheese together with the breadcrumbs, and spread evenly over the top of the dish.

6 . Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion in the hot butter until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour; cook and stir until browned, about 1 minute. Pour in milk; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook and stir constantly until it starts to thicken. Stir in Cheddar cheese until melted.

4 . Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Serve these sandwiches warm.
1 . Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
2 . Mix together the ground beef and roasted garlic. Form the mixture into four balls, and flatten into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the patties with garlic pepper, lemon salt, and Cajun seasoning.
3 . Lightly oil the grilling surface. Place onions on the grill, and toast on both sides. Place beef patties on the grill, and set the onions on top of them. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. If you're lucky (or trashy) enough to still have a coffee can of grease on your stove, brush both sides of the Hawaiian rolls, then toast them on the grill.
4 . To assemble, place the patties on buns, and top with slices of American and Edam cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and your choice of condiments such as ketchup, Creole mustard, and salad dressing. These listed are some of mine.
