Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

You wouldn't think a 3 hour time difference would be that big of deal ... but let me tell you, my body says otherwise. Somehow, going from the east coast to the west coast seemed a lot easier than coming from the California back to North Carolina.  I'm hating it ... I feel like I got cheated out of time and I'm having a hard time readjusting - and we've been home since Friday night/Saturday morning.  I don't know how people who fly a lot, do it?!?  I'd be a mess.  

During our trip, our dear little princess has figured out she can "get around" by doing the "inchworm" .... you know - the rocking on the hands and knees, then lunging forward and flopping back onto the floor.  She repeats this numerous times to get to her "destination" - which usually leads to her being moved and  having to start the whole process over.  Hehehe. Our lives will never be the same now that she has figured out how to move by means other than rolling.

Anyways, onto the cheesecake ........ mmmm mmmhhmmmm! I love me some cheesecake. This one is perfect ... chocolate-y, without being over the top.
