Tomorrow is my actual blogoversary, but I’m doing my post for it today. It’s hard to believe it has been one whole year since I started this blog. Today’s post makes 303 total posts since I began. I am so grateful to Melanie at My Kitchen Cafe, she’s the one who inspired me to give this thing a try for myself. At one point, I was doing posts 7 days a week, I have since reduced that down to 6 days. I figure, everyone deserves a day off.
Well with my blogoversary celebration, I have a giveaway. I have 4 bracelets that I will be giving away, check out the pictures below. I use to have a bead business and learned how to make my own beaded bracelets, so these are all handmade by me. In order to enter in the giveaway, you must post a comment on today’s post with one of the following: If you are a regular follower of Real Mom Kitchen post what recipe has been your favorite that you have made from my site or if you are new to Real Mom Kitchen post about what brought you here (the site and recipe) . You must post by Sunday April 19th at midnight to be entered in the drawing. I will post the winner on Tuesday April 21st so check back to see if you are the winner.
For today’s recipe I am posting a cake recipe, because you have to have cake with a celebration. This cake, however, is a little different than your usual cake. It’s a recipe for sopapilla cheesecake I got from Tina at Mommy’s Kitchen. Tina’s blog is one that I have been following since shortly after my blog began. I have heard of similar recipes but never tried it until seeing Tina’s recipe. Of course this recipe includes one of my favorite ingredients, crescent roll dough. I’m telling you, you can make anything with a roll of that stuff and anything made with it is gonna be fabulous! Now Tina served this dish as a dessert, but I used it for a breakfast. I figured that dough, cream cheese, butter, cinnamon, and sugar where basically cinnamon roll ingredients so why not make it for breakfast. It was a big hit with the whole family! So whether you want to eat this for breakfast or dessert, your mouth will definitely thank you! This recipe is also very easy to half, just make it in and 8 x 8 inch dish!
Sopapilla Cheesecake
2-8oz Cream Cheese (room temperature)
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 stick butter (1/2 cup real butter not margarine)
A friend made these and had me try one. It is AWESOME. I have to say, though, that it reminds me more of creme broulee than cheesecake, but that’s OK because I adore creme broulee, but do not adore making it. Thanks for this – we’re more Pinterest fans from MO.
WOW! I saw this (on pinterest of course!) and made this today. I went to the grocery store in my PJS at 2pm and made it immediately. So good. I am obsessed. Thank you for being on the WWW so I could find this recipe because really, I wasn’t going to go on a diet in the winter anyway!
I know I’m a little late in this (coming from pinterest), but this literally combines two of my all time favorite desserts!
P.S. I have an awesome cheesecake recipe, which always include almond extract!
Oh man does this look good!! I just saw it on Pinterest & came to your blog. I can’t wait to make it!!
Happy Blogversary!

Congratulations! A year is great to celebrate. Sopapilla Cheesecake! OMGosh!
It sounds and looks wonderful. I was on pinterest.com when I saw this recipe and flew to your website as fast as I could. Will try this cheesecake for lunch tomorrow.
Thanks also for the giveaway. I love the red bracelet too. Best of luck for your next year.

Congrats on your anniversary! It’s quite a committment to blog nearly daily for a year. Really digging the bold red bracelet!
I’ve been reading for a couple months and I have a big list of things to try, but first up is the Pizza Hut breadsticks and the rootbeer cake!
I just now discovered your blog and you have so many recipes I want to go home a try! Do you happen to know if this recipe can be made with the reduced fat version of the dough and cream cheese? It sounds so good! You’ve got a new subscriber in me!
I’m here via Eat at Home and the interview she posted today. So far I love it ALL!
Including the sopapilla cheesecake…because again I’ve made this but didn’t know it had a name! LOL!
Our families favorite is the Cafe Rio pork. We have it about once a month. We don’t have a Cafe Rio near us so we were thrilled to get this recipe! Thanks for all you do. I love all the recipes you post We also enjoy the peanut butter cookies of course adding the chocolate chips. That recipe is so easy and kid friendly my boys love to roll the dough in the sugar. Thanks again for all the yummy posts!
I love your blog and have tried several of your recipes. I love the perfect cake mix cupcakes and your quick and easy pizza crust. It’s a tie between those two. Thanks for sharing your great recipes with all of us!
Hi there. I came via the blogoversary site to wish you a happy anniversary, so this is my first visit. I just saw the blender salsa. Sounds delish!
Congratulations on your anniversary! I am a follower of your blog and look forward to your posts daily. I have lots of favorites from your blog but I’d have to say one of my most recent faves is the easy cheesy rolls. I can’t get enough of them! I love the green and the red bracelet. You are clearly a woman of many talents.
I love your blog, it’s full of great recipes. I check it daily!
I think I love your 30 min rolls best! Yum, and so easy!
Congratulations on your blogoversary!!!! I’m so glad you gave it a whirl! Look at all the fabulous scrumptious recipes you are sharing with people all over the place! Thank you for sharing all your great recipes!
My favorite recipe has been the apple pudding cake! It was just like my hubby remembered and I LOVED it’s perfect sweetness! I also loved your blackberry cake muffins too!
Just stumbled across your blog recently while looking for new recipes. We used your BBQ Chicken Quesidilla recipe on a night that my husband had to make dinner. It was such a simple, “no-fail” recipe that it made him look like a gourmet! Thanks for all the great recipes that you post!
I have tried a couple of your pizza recipe’s and we have liked all of them but our families favorite has been the pizza hut pan pizza, thanks for all the recipes and today i just found the honey butter i’m going to have to try your hint on that recipe.
I am new to the blog world…hopefully I will be celebrating a blogversary in 11 months. I found your blog today when I was reading http://acraftymomeats.blogspot.com/ and saw your posting about Sopapilla Cheesecake…sounded very yummy.
I have been following you for a few months. I read recipe blogs and have several of your recipes bookmarked in my TO DO list.
Hey there, I am brand new to your blog. I happened here from a jewelry making (beading) blog. Can’t remember now, I was doing so much blog hopping this morning. I’ve added your blog to my list of favorites. I love all your everyday recipes. I am going to try this Sopapilla Cake very soon. I love your bracelets, too. I am definitly interested in beading and am looking for a good place to start!! Hope you have an awesome week!
Happy Aniversary! I love to check your blog everyday to dee what great recipe you have to share. I originally found your blog from PYP shortly after you started. The recipe that I have made the most would probably be Molly’s rolls. They are delicious and make up in no time at all. Thanks for all of the great recipes! Keep up the good work!
Congrats on your anniversary! I found your blog when I looked up recipes for flautas. I am definitely going to try some of your recipes. Thanks!
My favorite recipe so far has been the gingerale meatballs. We loved them in a sub sandwich. Congrats!
I was checking out the Utah Hive site after watching a clip off of GTU (online, since I don’t live in Utah anymore). I checked out your site and thought that my family would enjoy your style of cooking. I think you had just posted a few meatball recipes in a row. I love all kind of meatballs.
I am somewhat new to your blog. I found you linked on a friend’s blog. I recently tried your chicken pillows recipe and it was a hit with the family…thank you. I have printed many more of your recipes and we return and comment when I try them.
You have so many yummy recipes it is hard to choose. One of my favorites is the chicago style pizza and homemade pizza sauce. No more buying premade sauce for us.
Happy Anniversary
I have followed your blog for about 3-4 months. Can't remember how – through another blog I think! I love a pancake recipe & a french bread receipt that you listed a few months ago and we have tried a few others. I haven't been disappointed yet. Hubby and kids are delighted that I'm getting some new recipes.
Congratulations on your anniversary. I check your blog at least daily if not more!
I just found your blog thru foodgawker with the cheesecake sopapilla recipe. It looks delicious! Happy blogoversary!
Congrats Laura doesnt time fly when you are having fun. Hats off to you for 6 posts a week, I try to do 2 or 3. The Sopapilla Cheesecake turned out awesome pretty and golden brown. It is one of my favorite recipes. My favorites from you site are The Marshmallow Brownies for sure. The Homemade Oreos and the Sesame Chicken umm. The braclets are pretty.
Congrats of the Anniversary! I love coming to check out your food! My favorite recipe has definately been the creamy italian chicken…yum-o!
I’ve been a regular follower for a while now. What orginally brought me to your blog was the lasagna rolls, but I have tried many recipes since then! Beautiful bracelets!
The slow cooker BBQ chicken is a family favorite! This is my picky daughter’s most requested meal.
Congratulations on your anniversary!
Happy blogoversary!
How exciting on your anniversary! I love you website. My favorite recipe was the oreo cookie recipe. I made it with my family for st. patricks day. We dyed the frosting green. It was a huge hit!Thank you so much for your website, I love it!
Happy Blogoversary
I just left a comment on your 5 minute artisan bread post before I read this one. I’ve only tried that and the potato slabs and both are great. Reading over the comments makes me want to check out all the recipes mentioned. Looks like I’ll be busy for awhile!
Congratulations on your 1 year mark! That’s a lot of entries and recipes! I like many of your recipes, but a favorite one is the Toffee Brownie Trifle. Oh yeah! The bracelets are just lovely. I hope I win one of them!
Just found your blog and love it. I also post on my food blog daily and appreciate the work. I added your blog to my favorites. I am making chicken tomorrow and hope to use the leftovers to try your chicken bundles. Love your jewelry too. My blog is called Foodfanataholics, stop by and visit me too.

I found your blog by googling a recipe for hawaiian haystacks. I couldn’t believe DH had never had them, even though they were new to me recently. I just didn’t know how to make the sauce. After a few searches yours was one tha I actually had all the ingredients for. I started looking through the other posts and loved them all. I’ve also tried the cheese biscuits and loved them!
Congratulations on your blog-versary! Your bracelets are beautiful.
Happy Anniversary! I love popping over to your site daily just to see what you are up to. The most recent recipe of yours that I tried was the lemon cupcakes with lemon buttercream frosting. Delish! I got raves but had to credit ‘real mom’. I would love to wear that lovely green bracelet next time I serve up a batch to my family
congrats! what drew me here was the chicken pillows!! yum yum!
Congrats! I’ve been following your blog for a few months now and have loved every recipe I’ve tried. My most recent favorite was the chocolate chip cranberry muffins. Yum!!
Congratulations! I’m another one who found your blog through PYP. I haven’t tried making anything yet–I’m not in much of a cooking mode right now–but I love reading all the recipes and check it out regularly.
Hiya Laura,
I found you through PYP. I try to catch up with your posts every few days or so. I think I have only made one recipe from your blog so far and that was a pasta salad recipe (don’t recall the exact name). Recently I came across a meatball sub recipe containing Ginger ale on Norah’s blog that I want to try (just got the hogie buns last night). I think this recipe came from you.
The bracelets are beautiful. Normally, I’m not much for wearing jewelry, but who doesn’t like to win sometimes? But with 3 daughters the prize wouldn’t go to waste. (I really like the green one).
Oh, another reason I like to follow your blog is because you live in the town I grew up in. I hope for mention of something I remember from when I lived there…it’s really changed though.
Thanks

Congrats on your blogiversary! Its the same day as dds bday! I stumbled onto your blog through your signature on pyp. My favorite recipe is marshmallow brownies (think that’s the right name
) To die for!!
Happy Birthday! Congratulations! I love all of your recipes, but if I had to choose one I think I would go with the slow cooker sweet and spicy chicken. YUM! BTW your braclets are so cute!!
I am always impressed with how often you post. You are amazing! The bracelets are gorgeous, by the way.
I just made your omelet roll last night and it was fabulous. Thank you!
Such a great recipe idea …have you tried it using any fruit? Perhaps apples? I think it would resemble the apple chimis applebees used to have on the menu. Happy Blogoversary.
I am expecting twins and I am basically on bedrest so I look at a lot of blogs. I love my kitchen cafe and mmm cafe so I found yours and I love your site. I can’t wait to try out all the pizza recipes and that salsa recipe when I am back on my feet. Great bracelets!
Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary!
I had a time remembering the recipe that first brought me to your site but I think it was this one. It is a good one, I know that!
