In fact, the opposite is true.  I am <strong><em>all for<\/em><\/strong> homemade cheesecake (just ask my husband).  I say this just to clarify, since I have already once with my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/?p=659\">Martha\u2019s Spiderweb Cheesecake No Fuss Style <\/a> endorsed store-bought cheesecake over homemade.   So I  wanted everyone to know that Annie and I love homemade cheesecake!  W<em>e do not discriminate against cheesecakes of any kind.<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>But sometimes when you are a woman on the run, you don&#8217;t have time to make homemade cheesecake. That&#8217;s where Costco comes in for me.  I dash in with my fabulous four and half inch Gucci pumps that make me feel together even when I am not and grab a beautifully made cheesecake.  Once home, I rip open the box of heaven and think about how I can give the dessert a personal touch within minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Stealing an idea from fabulous <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kraftfoods.com\/kf\/home.aspx\">Kraft&#8217;s Foods<\/a> website, I made their  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kraftfoods.com\/kf\/home.aspx\">Bit-of-Irish Cheesecake<\/a> much easier.  &#8220;Much easier&#8221; may be an understatement considering I did not actually make the cheesecake at all.  (<em>In complete honesty, I don&#8217;t know how happy Kraft would be about it since I didn&#8217;t need to purchase any of the Kraft foods included in the recipe, but to suppress my guilt I will buy <strong>several extra<\/strong> packages of shredded Kraft cheese next time I am at the supermarket. I hope you will do the same<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s cut to the chase. Here&#8217;s what I did:<\/p>\n<p>1.  Bought a cheesecake.<\/p>\n<p>2. Opened the cheesecake.<\/p>\n<p>3. Took a large Shamrock cookie cutter and gently placed it in the center of the cheesecake.<\/p>\n<p>4. Sprinkled green nonpareils inside the cookie cutter.<\/p>\n<p>5. Gently lifted the cookie cutter off the cheesecake.<\/p>\n<p>6. Basked in my domestic goddess glory.<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipeGradHeading\" class=\"recipeGradHeading\">\n<div class=\"head\">\n<h1><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3585\" title=\"thumb_223x223_128784352709493660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/thumb_223x223_128784352709493660.png\" alt=\"thumb_223x223_128784352709493660\" width=\"223\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/thumb_223x223_128784352709493660.png 223w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/thumb_223x223_128784352709493660-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/thumb_223x223_128784352709493660-65x65.png 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" \/> <\/h1>\n<p>You can find the recipe for this <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.samsclub.com\/Recipe\/Recipe\/Recipe.aspx?id=946\">Bailey&#8217;s Cheesecake here on the Sam&#8217;s Club website<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mylivesignature.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/signatures.mylivesignature.com\/54487\/213\/1B769B0C9152F3A8AEB6C0B8BFF46123.png\" style=\"border: 0 !important; background: transparent;\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have nothing against homemade cheesecake.
