Margarita Cheesecake with Sea Salt

Margarita Cheesecake with Sea Salt

Things I’m digging right now:

  1. Living my life like Julia Robert’s in “Eat, Pray, Love”. I’m totally down with gaining 10 lbs in Italy and exploring the world, you know?
  2. Weather warm enough to walk around in sandals. Bring on the heat! I promise I’ll never complain about being hot again, ever.
  3. Reminiscing with my bestie over boys, school, and random drama from 10 years ago - while eating way too many chips and salsa.
  4. Margarita Cheesecake garnished with Sea Salt. Oh, did I mention, no baking req’d?! True story.

p.s. Happy Cinco De Mayo! Did you see my other Cinco ideas? They’re HERE
