Welcome!

I created this blog originally to keep friends and family updated with my life away from "home". A place to write down my thoughts and life events, maybe even some beauty blogging who knows!

"The longer I live, the more I realize the inpact of attitude on life. Attitue, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than crcumstances, than failure, than successe, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than apperance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regardunf the attitude we will embrace for that day. we cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes" - Charles R. Swindoll

Day 22

A favorite recipe

Oh my I have a few favorite recipes! Haha, well I'll go with my yummy baked cheese cake one. This is my hubby's favorite sweet desert thing to make and we both LOVE cheesecake! This is pretty much a basic recipe for a plain one, but I always spice it up depending on my mood and change it a little bit.


Baked Cheese Cake

Crust:
2 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
*Sometimes I get lazy and just buy the crust premade in the tin :P

Filling:
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
Dash of salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs

Topping: (This part is optional, but it is super yummy!)
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla


Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter, press into buttered 8 inch pie plate to form crust on bottom and sides.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add in lemon juice, 1/2 cup sugar, milk, salt and vanilla.

Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour filling into crust.

Bake at 325 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until set.

Combine the 2 tablespoons of sugar, sour cream, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla; spread over top of cheesecake then bake for 10 minutes longer. Chill for 5 hours or more before serving.
