Happy V-Day!!

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!!!

I hope everyone has had/is having an aswome time. I have a good cheesecake recipe here you might like to make for your loved one. It might sounds strange, but it tastes absolutely delicious!

Half & Half Cheesecake

preheat oven to 350

have on hand 1 unbaked (8 inch) graham cracker crust

Blend in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy:

-1/2 pound tofu (i recommend the soft kind, it blends easiest)
-8 ounces of cream cheese
-1 cup of sugar
-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about the juice from one normal sized lemon, fresh squeezed, is good)
-1 teaspoon of vanilla
-pinch of salt

Pour into pie shell and bake for about 45 minutes.

It has a total protein of 3 grams so now you can say you're still eating healthy. :P It might seem strange putting tofu in a cheesecake but you don't even taste it. I think it's absolutely delicious and it should be tried at least once. If you don't like it, then you know to never make it again. I got the recipe from this awsome book called Tofu Quick & Easy (revised edition) by Louise Hagler. I have had several of dishes from there and they all have been really good. It has everything from breakfast to salads, dips and spreads to soup, main course to dessert. So that's my best friend in the kitchen, anyone who is vegetarian or vegan should seriously look into getting that book!
