Regular readers know I appreciate General Mills, Kraft, and Betty Crocker. Well twitter got me hooked up with Lovemyphilly.com and guess what, I was invited to be a tester for an awesome pasta and chicken recipe. Imagine how excited I was!  This was my first invite. You can read all about my first testing experience over at Are you hungry? Anyway, to thank me for participating they sent me a cookbook and coupons for free Philadelphia Cream Cheese. WOW how cool is that, I get to cook, give my opinion, and get free stuff.  The cookbook has almost every cheesecake recipe know. You can find many of those recipes over at lovemyphilly.com.

How about this Philly double chocolate cheesecake, YUMMY!
