I am always finding recipes that pique my interest. Even with the best of intentions, I never seem to get around to making those recipes. In an effort to remedy that, I made these cheesecake bars from Nicole's blog, Baking Bites.

View more photos After listening all day to Quinn saying that we hadn’t anything sweet in the house in days, I finally caved late last night and made these cupcakes.
