Cheesecake Queens

Recently, I had the pleasure of cooking with the cutest Dairy Farmer in the state of Georgia….Meet Dixie Truelove.  (Yes, that’s her real name!) We collaborated on some feature pieces for CBS about dairy farmers and she shared her family’s famous recipe with me.  When she’s not managing her 300 acre dairy farm, she bakes a bad ass cheesecake.  GetinmymouthRAWTnow kinda good.

She also taught me that milking cows in hot pink heels is not recommended…but the overalls are hot, no?

City Girl in the Country…hot pink stilettos optional
