Strawberry Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients:
Crust
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons salted butter melted
Cheesecake
16 ounces cream cheese softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberry Filling
3 cups chopped strawberries
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
Oatmeal Crumble
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup light brown sugar packed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter cold and finely diced
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9 by 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a medium bowl and make a small well. Pour in the melted butter and mix until evenly combined.
Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared baking pan and press evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8 minutes.
While the crust is baking, beat together the cheesecake ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy and set aside.
Add the strawberries, lemon juice, and vanilla to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium high heat for 5 to 7 minutes until the strawberries are bursting and juice has started to form.
In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir into the strawberry mixture and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and resembles pie filling. Remove from heat.
Make the oatmeal crumble by combining all of the crumble ingredients in a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until you have a coarse crumble.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the baked crust and spread evenly. Top with the strawberry filling. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the strawberries.
Bake for 50 to 70 minutes until the crumble topping is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 to 60 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight before slicing into squares.

Bowtie Pasta with Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken & Parmesan
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon butter
For the Bowtie Pasta:
8 oz bowtie pasta
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (garnish)
Directions:
Start by cooking the bowtie pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender
Once done, drain and set aside. Save a little pasta water in case you want to loosen the sauce later.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Let it sizzle for about 6-7 minutes on each side until it's golden brown on the outside and fully cooked inside.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Then stir in the fresh lemon zest and juice. Add a tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and coat the chicken in that zesty, garlicky goodness. Turn off the heat and set the chicken aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring as it begins to simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Once the cream sauce is ready, stir in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and silky. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Add the cooked pasta into the sauce and toss gently to coat each piece. If the sauce needs thinning, splash in a bit of that reserved pasta water. Fold in the lemon garlic chicken and stir to combine everything evenly.
Spoon the pasta onto plates or into bowls, and top with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and extra Parmesan.
