What to do with Cream Cheese Part 2

As mentioned last Wednesday, Smiths is having a mega sale and one of the items is Philadelphia Cream Cheese. With the printable coupon of $5/5 printable and printing it twice, you can get 10 for free. Again, that is FREE! I called Audrey after my Smiths trip to let her know--I was elated. Ha! For the next 24 hours, I shared this with all I talked with. Funny, I know.

(The sale on cream cheese ends a week from today).

I wanted to make a New York Cheesecake for friends which calls for 4 packages of cream cheese. I used a recipe from the JOY OF BAKING.

You will need a spring form pan for this type of cheesecake. The only substitution was using cinnamon graham crackers instead of regular graham crackers. The cinnamon flavor was not strong (because it was only in the crust). It was a nice touch, I thought.

Here is a quick list of items needed for this cheesecake:

Crust:

2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling:

4 - 8 ounce packages of cream cheese (room temperature)

1 cup granulated sugar

3 tbsp flour

5 large eggs (room temperature)

1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

1 tbsp lemon zest

1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping:

1 cup sour cream

2 tbsp sour cream

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

BAKING INSTRUCTIONS

We served the slices of cheesecake with a homemade plum sauce for some and others chose chocolate syrup.

The cheesecake was a hit. Don't be deterred by the 2 hour bake time - it's well worth it.

GIVEAWAY: ERGObaby Carrier! -CLOSED-

Winner I have carried my little boy in a baby carrier since he was born. I love the convenience of strapping him in and not worrying about the hassle of a bulky stroller. It's also a comfort to hold my little guy close and safe. When I had the chance to review the ERGObaby carrier, I was thrilled to try something that could extend my baby wearing days. My first test was a true one...Costco. I admit that I didn't really look at the directions when I put the carrier on in the parking lot. But I didn't need to! After one look at a picture in the user manual, I strapped my 20 pound boy in, placed my little girl in the shopping cart, and started on my way through the aisles of Costco. I immediately noticed that the carrier more evenly distributed my son's weight than my normal carrier and held my boy high so my legs weren't bumping into his. This made it significantly easier to tote him around the store. Indeed my normal trips to Costco are exhausting. But
