I normally make cheesecake from scratch, and I don't think I've ever actually made a no-bake cheesecake. I can however make an exception if said cheesecake will have a Reese's peanut butter cup crust, a peanut butter drizzle and Reese's Pieces on top. What occasion has me making a decadent Reese's cheesecake? Well, it's that awesome time of the year where we're all starting to ...

We finally finished watching season 1 of Marvel's Daredevil. It's probably the most ridiculously awesome superhero anything I've ever watched. The show captures the true grittiness of fighting.
