Talk about inspiring. The music is so beautiful I just want to download it and play it every minute of every day.

I was totally in a baking mood today

So i proceeded to make these delightful little yummies!

In a blender or food processor, combine the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, lime juice and zest, and cornstarch. Process until smooth and creamy. Pour into pie crust. Place pan on cookie sheet and bake 15 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 200°F (DO NOT forget to reduce temperature - very important) and continue baking 75 minutes or until center is almost set until cheesecake is lightly golden brown on top. Allow to cool completely, then chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Serve topped with slices of fresh fruit if desired.

I have been itchin' to do something different with my hair. First of all I dyed it red. That didn't do it for me, so I went today and chopped it all off.  It's a huge change but I am totally in love with it. I have never cut my hair so short for fear of my scars showing. But I don't really care about that any more. I have more confidence then ever. 

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Place cookies in a blender; process with on/off pulse until finely crushed.

Add margarine; process with pulses until blended. Press crumb mixture onto bottom of 10" springform pan; refrigerate.

Beat cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Add sugar and cornstarch; beat until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas, whipping cream, and vanilla. Pour cream cheese mixture into prepared crust. Place pan on cookie sheet and bake 15 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 200°F (DO NOT forget to reduce temperature - very important) and continue baking 75 minutes or until center is almost setbsp Loosen edge of cheesecake; cool completely on wire rack before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate cheesecake, uncovered, 6 hours or overnight.

Allow cheesecake to stand at room temperature 15 minutes before serving.
