Taylor from Jimmy Choos & Baby Too is starting a top 2 tuesday topic, and today's topic is our two favorite recipes. OMGoodness! This has been really hard for me to narrow it down to just two! I've decided to pick my favorite pampered chef recipe and one of my favorite cheesecake recipes. If you try either, enjoy you won't be disappointed!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix chicken, pepper & parsley, set aside. Zest lemon and add 1 tsp. to the chicken mixture. Stir in pressed garlic, mozz. cheese, parm cheese, mayo and seasoning. Unroll crescent dough, separate triangles. Arrange triangles into a circle points toward the outside of a large round baking stone. Spoon mixture onto dough. Bring dough up and over filling tuck under center of ring (your filling won't be completely covered). Sprinkle with about 2 Tbsp. of parm cheese. Bake 28-30 minutes or until nice and golden brown.

Oreo Cheesecake

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted

Beat cream cheese and sugar. Blend in eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Fold in the coarsely chopped cookies. Spread mixture carefully over your crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until set. Let cool one hour, refrigerate for three hours before serving.
