he is back to running, climbing, and his wild antics- not to mention being cuter than ever!
along with watching out for Bjorn, I was able to make cheesecakes for a party, knit a second pair of gloves ( cant show you guys- they are a gift!) and began a cross stitch project.
In celebration of Bjorn's health I bring you cheesecake.
From Susan Branch's Heart of the Home book.
My dear friend Meg- hates cheesecake- but likes this recipe- she says it is a perfect balance of all three layers. I have found this recipe to be the easiest and not super rich. Just right for company.
Crust:
2 1/2 c. Graham cracker crumbs
3/4 c. melted butter
combine and press into a buttered 9" pie plate ( or springform)
Filling:
1 (8oz) pkg. soften cream cheese
1/2 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
dash of salt
2 eggs
beat cream cheese till fluffy, gradually add sugar, vanilla, lemon, and salt- until blended. Add eggs one at a time, beat after each. Pour filling into crust. Bake at 325' for 25-30 min.,until set.
Topping:
1 1/2 c. sour cream
3 Tbsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. vanilla
combine all ingredients and spoon over hot cheesecake. Bake 10 minutes longer. cool- chill several hours. ( serves 8)
How is the new oven??
