I always says eat dessert before the appetizer or entrée because it's the most anticipated part of dinner.  Life is too uncertain, let's get to the best part!

From the graham cracker crust, to the rich filling, to the very first bite, there has never been a time when cheesecake has failed to make my stomach happy.

Plus, Hy-Vee started selling CheeseKaKe Ko., too!

I'm tellin' you, I love cheesecake.  I had probably half the box within the first 5 minutes of opening it.  The smell is incredible, too - from the moment you open the box!

I'm looking at their website and all their cheesecakes look soooo good.

From the Snickerdoodle, to the Death by Chocolate, to the Pineapple Upside Down Cheesecake, it's easy to see why CheeseKaKe Ko. is a big hit.

They're also at Rockford's City Market this year and I saw they sold out of all their product for the second week of the Market being open.  That's awesome!
