Oh man, how do I even begin with my mom's cheesecake....seriously best ever, ever. Cheesecake factory has nothing on her. People beg her all throughout the year for her to make one for them; especially around the holidays, she usually has a long list of cheesecakes to deliver! This particular cheesecake happens to be for their friends Matt & Brandi, Matt tends to wear out his welcomes when it comes to asking for cheesecakes;), but this time just so happen to be perfect timing for me to beg to blog the recipe! I somehow talked her into sharing her recipe...you all better write this down; chances are she will regret this ever happened and make me delete the post;)! Ha, so get it while you can!
Per my mom:
It seams that my daughter can talk me into just about anything......sooooo,
here it is.....my super secret.....best I've found....Cheesecake recipe!!!!
ENJOY!

Cheesecake has always been my all-time favorite dessert!!! So....when I say I am a little persnickety about it....well you get the idea!
>
There is something about just the right amount of crust and the firm yet creamy deliciousness of the cake itself!
>
So....First things first.... The Crust!!! ( I like a bigger...thicker, crust )
>
2 cups crushed graham crackers
