    Oreo cheesecake is a sinfully delicious treat from the Cheesecake Factory (and it's arguably one of the best Cheesecake Factory cheesecake flavors). Here's how to make your own.

    Before you begin, make sure all of the ingredients you'll be using are at room temperature.

    Melt 2 tbsp. of butter and mix with 1 1/2 cups of coarsely crushed oreo cookies. (Approximately 25 cookies.) Press the crushed crumbs into a 9-inch springform pan. Make sure the sides are 1 1/2 inches tall.

    Beat 1 1/2 lbs. of cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add in sugar, continuing to beat until smooth. Add in eggs and beat until blended. Add sour cream and blend. Stir in five coarsely crushed Oreo cookies with a spoon. Pour mixture into pan. Sprinkle 10 coarsely chopped cookies on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees for one hour and 15 minutes. Open the oven door and leave it open for about one hour before removing from the oven. You'll then need to refrigerate for 24 hours.

    Chicken Madeira

    This Cheesecake Factory recipe is surprisingly easy to make and most of the ingredients you probably already have on hand.

    First, you'll need one lb. of chicken. You can either use thin sliced chicken or regular chicken breasts pounded thin. Next, dredge the chicken in a mixture of flour, salt, black pepper and paprika, to taste. Fry the chicken in a frying pan with oil and butter until thoroughly cooked. Once done, remove from pan and store in stove to keep warm. Drain oil from pan. Add 1/2 cup of Madeira wine and boil until there's approximately 2 tbsp. left. Remove the brown bits once done. Add in 3/4 of a cup of chicken broth and boil for one minute, stirring the entire time. Add 1 tsp. of cornstarch previously mixed with one tsp. of water until blended. Allow the sauce to simmer for one minute, whisking the entire time. When the sauce is done, pour over the chicken and enjoy!

    Avocado eggrolls require quite a few ingredients, which can get a bit expensive if you don't have the ingredients on hand, but the end result makes it all worth it.

    Stir together 3 to 4 tsp. of white vinegar, 1 tsp. of balsamic vinegar, 1/2 tsp. of tamarind pulp, 1/2 cup of honey and a pinch of powdered saffron. Microwave in a microwave safe bowl for one minute. Stir again to make sure the powdered ingredients have completely dissolved. Next, pour the mixture into a blender along with a 1/2 cup of cashews, 2/3 cup of cilantro, 2 garlic cloves, 2 green onions, 1 tbsp. of sugar and 1 tsp. each of ground black pepper and ground cumin. Once blended, pour mixture into a bowl and add in oil. Stir to blend and then place in fridge to keep cool.

    Combine 1 large avocado, diced, with 2 tbsp. of sundried tomatoes in oil, chopped finely, 1 tbsp. of minced red onion, 1/2 tsp. of chopped fresh cilantro and 1 pinch of salt in a bowl and stir gently. Place equal amounts of filling into eggroll wrappers. Make sure to position the wrapper so a pointed end points towards. Fold bottom corner up, approximately 1/4 of the way. Baste the remaining edges with butter and fold over. Make sure to press to seal. Deep fry the wrappers at 374 degrees for 3 to 4 minutes, until they are golden brown. Drain and serve with dipping sauce.
