But I remembered, because on Mother's Day, I was in charge of the desserts as usual and found one on pinterest that was such a hit I had to share. My Dad cooked out and used veggies from his garden, (please see worlds cutest squash to your right).
So for my cheesecake obsessed
mother, I found these adorable miniature bites(So I have a serious addiction with tiny things, sue me). Try them if you want to taste heaven. Unlike those closest to me (husband+mom), I am not a huge cheesecake fan, but I dominated 10 of them myself in maybe 8 minutes. (See recipe below).
