The Pioneer Woman!
Oh my gawd! I have already made a list of about 10 recipes that I want to try, 2 of which I will be trying today (if not tomorrow...depending on my husband who is feeling a little bit under the weather).
I know Sarah has this listed on her BlogLinks, but I'd never visited it. Not until yesterday when I asked my homeboard on the Nest, Married Life, what the most fattening dessert they'd ever had was. I have a co-worker who is currently battling Adenocarcinoma in the duodenum. She has hit an all-time low in weight, 85 lbs. This woman isn't much shorter than me, so that would put her at about 5' 9". She visited the office last week to bring treats, as she did find that the tumor has gone down a bit in size. But it's still taking a hell of a toll on her, as she can't possibly eat enough to keep up with what the tumor is stealing from her body. She must eat every 2 hours. This means waking up through the night, eating hot dogs, cheesecake, milkshakes, whatever she can find that is fattening and appeals to her. Poor thing. I can't imagine. Anyway, some of my Nestie friends suggest these apple dumplings from the Pioneer Woman blog. Or cheesecake. So I decided to send her an Eli's Cheesecake gift pack. The same one I sent another friend last year who was fighting cancer. He is now in remission. I sure hope there's some magical healing powers in these Eli's Cheesecakes.
Anyway, I'm going to make the dumplings (which involve TWO sticks of butter and a can of Mountain Dew...clearly an ideal recipe for my husband) this weekend.
And now I must go, before the girls kill each other.

Yay, another convert to the Pioneer Woman! You're going to love her. And how sweet of you to think of your coworker.
Thanks for sending Eli's Cheesecake to your friend. We know that the thought to send Eli's Cheesecake will be most appreciated and look forward to our Cheesecake having a positive effect.
Sincerely,
