Recipe curtsey of Jeanne Stuemke of
Recipes from Grandma - A recipe blog that contains old recipes collected over the last 40 years - some from my grandmother, some from my mother-in-law, some from estate sales, and some just sounded too good to throw away! Most are fast and easy to make!

Jeanne writes:

This is the best cheesecake I have ever tasted! I have been making this recipe since the late 1970s. It was always the favorite choice for birthdays - even for my kids!

Crust:
Mix together 1-1/4 cups graham crackers, 1/2 cup melted butter, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Pat this mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan that has been sprayed with a cooking spray.

Filling:
Beat 24 ounces of cream cheese and 5 eggs until creamy. Gradually add mixture of 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour on top of crust, and bake for 50 minutes at 325 degrees.

Cool for 20 minutes.

Topping:
Mix 16 ounces sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 6 tablespoons sugar. Pour on cooled cake.

Bake 10 minutes at 325 degrees. Refrigerate.

This tastes great plain or with fresh strawberries or raspberries.

Health & Happiness

This section had previously been called FlyLady........but I think I've said about as much as I can about the FlyLady program!  I've renamed it Health & Happiness.  Every edition I'll be adding a link or blurb about something that pertains to health & happiness!

This edition I am introducing you to - Jillian Michaels.  You might already know her as TV's toughest trainer from The Biggest Loser.  A new season of Loser begins 9/16/08 on NBC.  Husbands & Wives VS. Parents & their Adult Children. Jillian's team is Parent/Child.  I think that might prove to be the most difficult.  I know I have a whole different attitude with my mom that I do with The Husband --yes, I revert back into a 14 year old!!! (but a bossy 14 year old with no fear of punishment!!!)

I am currently enjoying (can you enjoy exercise?) Jillian's Shred DVD.  Every Tues/Thurs.  Yes, it does shred you! I've rearranged 2 pant sizes.  I say rearrange since I have only lost about 5lbs.  This is not an easy video....but it DOES work.  I am still only on the easy workout of Level 1.  There are 3 levels.  I'll have this dvd forever! (which is a good thing --no getting bored for a long time)  If you asked me 4 months ago to do 2 minutes of jumping jacks, 12 pushups, and 1 minutes worth of crunches, I would have laughed and laughed and laughed.  But now I'm doing it--seriously....me, doing exercise!  20 minutes ....twice a week ........but I feel GREAT after I'm done (sweaty, stinky, tired.....but great!)
