1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour

4 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 eggs
12 oz. white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled

Preheat oven to 325 F.
For crust: cream butter, sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour, mixing at low speed until blended. Press onto bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Prick with a fork and bake 25 minutes or until edges are light brown.

For filling: beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla at medium speed with an electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing at low speed after each addition, just until blended. Blend in melted chocolate, and pour over crust.

Thanks, Robyn.
Although I'm going to have to do some messing with it to get a "serves 1" recipe (but it'll be fun trying).

Hey Dive, pick up a few 4-inch spring form pans and give a bunch away. You're sure to get a wife if you pass out cheesecake.

Just an idea--not to make light of your dilemma.

That sounds great Robyn. I might heat a bit of raspberry puree and swirl it through (like making a marble cake) and throw a few fresh raspberries on top..but hey that is just me. Can't ever leave well enough alone.

Sassy, me too.

Pru, white chocolate and raspberries are perfect together!

Lynn, this one is great because the crust is a nice cookie instead of a crumbly graham cracker thing.

I'm not usually a fan of a baked cheesecake but this one reads deliciously!

Do you get the recipes on the back of Philadelphia cheese over there? One of my faves was the Toblerone Cheesecake. Mmmmmm!

Rich, There used to be a crappy old building down town that a friend and I thought would make a great cheesecake shop. It burned, though, in a big block fire that took out three bars. Now it's been redone, and it's one of the taverns. No cheesecake there.

Ms. Mac: the packages for cream cheese have recipes on them, but I get mine from a book I got from a sister-in-law. Her husband used to work for Kraft, and all the employees got these nice spiral-bound cheesecake books with pictures.

Classic Green Bean Bake

In anticipation of Thanksgiving, I feel I must post a recipe with plenty of good old American tradition. The classic Green Bean Bake was invented in 1955 by Dorcas Reilly, a home economist who worked for the Campbell's Soup Company. A study was done determining that 50% of all Americans have eaten the classic Green Bean Bake, and 38% of those believe it is best served during the holidays, mainly Thanksgiving. So, for the other 50% and for those in other countries where this dish may be unfamiliar--my treat: The Classic Green Bean Bake serves 6 to 8 1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon soy sauce Dash of fresh pepper 1 20-oz. bag frozen cut green beans, thawed* 1 2.8 oz can French-fried onions -Preheat the oven to 350 F -In a casserole dish, combine the soup, milk, soy sauce and pepper. Stir in the green beans and half of the onions. -Bake until bubbling, about 25 minutes. Top with the remaining onions and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve hot. *Or cook 1 ...

Bring On the Bombs

In today's edition : I generally try to keep on top of cultural trends even if I don’t adopt them, but there is a growing movement that I have only just discovered. Not long ago, I was walking along in Berkeley, California while visiting my daughter, and I saw a signpost that had been covered with yarn, like someone had sewn a knitted scarf to it. It was colorful and randomly striped, and I pointed it out as if it were the most unusual thing in the world. That’s when my daughter explained the nature of what is known as yarn bombing. It’s when knitters attach something they’ve created to a public object, most often doing their deed stealthily and anonymously. They leave a “bomb,” so to speak, for no other purpose than to brighten up the place and to bring a little cheer to those passing by. Their work has been equated with graffiti, except that the woven yarn is not permanently installed and does no damage to the object it covers. And instead of signifying the territory of a street ...

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...
