Alright, this was a tough one to make for me - main reason - my son broke his collarbone right in the middle of me getting everything together and I spent 5 hours with him in two different hospitals (thanks BCBS insurance I hate you). Another reason - the next morning I realized I had forgot one HUGE ingredient - THE CREAM CHEESE! Yes ladies and gentleman, I forgot the Cream Cheese for the Light New York CHEESEcake. Needless to say it still turned out pretty good and my husband said this - "D-LISH!" when he first tasted it.
This week's host was Talesha and you can find the recipe and directions on her blog. I was so excited to get this recipe because Cheesecake is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE and frankly I could eat it all the time - I did with my first pregnancy! haha But I'm so upset at myself that I forgot a key ingredient. I guess it was one of those "mom" moments where your kids come first, blah blah blah hahahaha I love little guy and he got a big piece after I finally finished it (14 hours after I had started) and he tried to enjoy it but didn't like it as much as his dad.
Some fun notes making this tho - I FINALLY got to use the Food Processor we got for our wedding two years ago. You're probably thinking, "you are just barely using it?" Well, frankly - yes. I had a hard time figuring out how to use it, so i just put it in storage and we also didn't have a lot of room, so I had to store it. I loved it though, I was so excited to use it and finally figure out how to work it. :D Second of all, I used the springform pan that I bought a couple weeks ago and that was fun. Lastly, I actually made the yogurt cheese. I was skeptical about this because I didn't think it would actually work since I didn't have a wire mesh drainer, but it did! How exciting!!
Thank you again Talesha for hosting. It didn't work out as well as I had hoped, but when you have a 2 year-old and a 1 year-old something is going to happen sooner or later and I doubt it's the last time we ever visit an x-ray tech haha.
P.S. If you want to read the blog post on my trip to the docs with Cash, you can find it on our family blog.
