If there's no problem that can't be solved with a little cheesecake, that must mean there's no international crisis that can't be solved with a double fudge chocolate cheesecake! This latest recipe from The Golden Girls cookbook is one of Rose's. For the crust 1 packet Nabisco famous chocolate wafers 1/3 cup sugar 5 tbsp melted butter,  at room temperature 1/4 tsp salt Method 1.  First eat a few of the cookies!. You know you will anyway. Then grind the cookies and sugar in a food processor until very fine, stopping once or twice to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Set 2 tbsp of the crumb mixture aside and move the rest of the crumb mixture to a 10-inch nonstick spring form pan. Using a flat bottom glass wrapped in clingfilm, make an even layer of crust across the bottom of the pan, working the crumbs outward toward the sides of the pan. Then, with the sides of a glass, press the crumbs about 1-inch up the sides of the pan. Place the cake pan on a baking shee...

No, we're not talking about Rose and her St. Olaf neighbours, we're talking about the classic mix of pork and beef meatballs with a simple dill sauce.

Another delicious recipe from The Golden Girls cookbook. These cookies are one of Dorothy's recipes. These oat-y buttery treats, like most homemade cookies, best eaten warm. Rose loves them with a glass of cold milk; Dorothy has them with a cup of coffee or strong Earl grey tea. Ingredients 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats (not instant) 3/4 cup white whole-wheat flour 3/4 cup raisins 3/4 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 113g unsalted butter, room temperature 3/4 cup light brown sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla extract Method 1.  Preheat oven to 180°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or spray them with nonstick cooking oil. 2.  Stir oats, flour, raisins, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. 3.  Using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together in a medium bowl until fluffy-the batter will take on a lighter colour. Beat in the egg together with the vanilla extract. Stir the oat mixture into the butter mixture by hand. 4.  Use a tablespoon...

I am a huge Golden Girls fan and have passed that on to Jodie 😁. I have been wanting to do a Golden Girls themed dinner for a while now, I found these party supplies online and purchased them from USA. I also made some Golden Girls themed food. I really enjoyed creating this themed birthday for Jodie, I hope to do more themed occasions throughout the year. STAY GOLDEN!
