“Red Velvet, Red Velvet, send “Cheesecake” right over” LOL
Anyone remember playing “Red Rover, Red Rover” as a kid 😉 if not just google it LOL 😛
Anyway I was trying to start my blog out in a silly kind of way, but there is no silliness when “Red Velvet” is involved 😉
Of course Red Velvet everything starts to come out around Valentine’s Day, and this is around that time I made this delicious cheesecake.
Of course I did share with several friends and I must say I had “zero” complaints 🙂 LOL
So I thought this would be perfect for this week’s “Fiesta Friday #63”, of course our host is Angie@The Novice Gardener her new blog for Fiesta Friday’s is here and her co-host this week are Julianna@Food On Board and Hilda@Along The Grapevine.
