- Ingredients FOR THE CRUST: 24 chocolate wafer cookies 3 tbsp. sugar 1/2 stick salted butter, melted FOR THE FILLING: 12 oz. cream cheese, softened 3/4 c. sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 2 large eggs 1/4 c. sour cream FOR THE TOPPING: 2 c. fresh Bing or other sweet cherries, pitted and halved (about 12 ounces) 1/3 c. sugar 1/2 c. plus 1 tablespoon water 4 tsp. cornstarch 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice Directions For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 ̊. Pulse the cookies and sugar in a food processor until the mixture is very finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until set and dry, about 15 minutes. Let cool while you make the filling. For the filling: Beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the sour cream and beat again. Pour the filling into the crust, smooth the top and bake until the center just barely jiggles, about 25 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the pan sit in the oven for 15 minutes with the door ajar. Remove and let cool completely. For the topping: Combine the cherries, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, partially cover and cook, stirring frequently, until the cherries are tender, about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water until smooth. Add to the cherries, return to a boil and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Mound the cherries in the center of the cheesecake. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours or overnight.

Chicken Tortilla Soup by Pioneer Woman
Preheat the oven to 375˚. Mix cumin, chili pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil on chicken breasts, then sprinkle a small amount of spice mix on both sides. Set aside the rest of the spice mix.
Place chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is done. Use two forks to shred chicken. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pot over medium high heat. Add onions, red pepper, green pepper, and minced garlic. Stir and begin cooking, then add the rest of the spice mix. Stir to combine, then add shredded chicken and stir.
Pour in Rotel, chicken stock, tomato paste, water, and black beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 45 minutes, uncovered.
Mix cornmeal with a small amount of water. Pour into the soup, then simmer for an additional 30 minutes. Check seasonings, adding more if needed---add more chili powder if it needs more spice, and be sure not to undersalt. Turn off heat and allow to sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Five minutes before serving, gently stir in tortilla strips.
Ladle into bowls, then top with sour cream, diced red onion, diced avocado, pico de gallo, grated cheese and/or, if you have it! (The garnishes really make the soup delicious.)
