Training. Car troubles. and Cheesecake

       Hey Everyone. Sorry I haven't been on here in a while. Life was happening and I was living it. Not saying this blog would have been taking up my time, just haven't had much time to sit. My new life goal has been taking me in all different directions. My goal, to become a triathlete. Started training a few days ago and love every minute of it. Being more physically fit is my drive to do better , be better. I'm already on week 4 of my 10 week kickboxing class and cant get enough of it. Ive never looked forward to torturing myself before until now. If anyone likes to run or has a goal to run more then download this app MAPMYRUN  Its awesome! check it out, it'll tell you everything you wanted to know while your running, biking, walking, etc.
     Right now I'm suppose to be at work, why I'm not? My lovely car wont start. but lucky for you i now have time to sit down and write! Woke up this morning with high hopes it was going to be a good day. Room window opened for the first time since winter started and woke up to the birds chirping and a slight glow from the sun. got ready, packed lunch, right on time to leave so I can stop and grab an Ice tea. what happens next? Get in my car, turn the key and nothing. nothing happened next besides my head falling and a long sigh of the word WTF running through my already busy mind. Popped the hood and me staring into what could have been a black hole of randomness. Me looking into a engine is like a blind knife thrower. Its possible with practice but not recommended. I am convinced I'm jinx with cars. No matter what I drive something goes wrong, Often. Called work to say I'm going to be late just in case I some how found a way to get it working. Headed back inside ate my breakfast made some tea and here I am now. Not at work. Weather is suppose to be gorgeous today so I'm not complaining just not looking forward to a busy Wednesday if I cant make it to work. What I don't do today will only be left til Wednesday. But enough about my car.
       I have a few recipes I want to tell you about but one in particular is a must right now. It will change your life if your a cheesecake fan. Best homemade cheesecake I have ever made. Made it for Easter and everyone raved about it. Not many ingredients. very few directions and you come out with extremely moist decadent cake.
 


Cheesecake

Supplies
-Springform pan 9''
-Kitchen Aid mixer (works best theres a lot of mixing)

Ingredients
Cake
~ 6 large eggs
~ 1 1/2 cups sugar
~ 2 lbs Cream cheese (4-8 oz packages)
~ 1/2 pint sour cream
~1/2 Heavy cream
~ Juice of one lemon
~ 1 Tbs Vanilla
~ 2 heaping Tbs flour

Crust
~1 1/2 C crushed vanilla wafers
~ 6 Tbs melted butter
~ 1/2 C sugar

Directions

Oven 425*  note- Temp Changes within 15 min baking

Let cream cheese soften on counter for up too an hour. Crush wafers until fine. I used a food processor. set aside. beat all four cream cheese packages in mixer until smooth one at a time mix eggs in, scraping the sides of the bowl often. once combined mix in sugar, sour cream, vanilla. mixer should be on a low setting DO NOT OVER MIX or let bubbles form. you don't want air in your cake. Next pour in heavy cream and lemon juice. should not be lumpy on the bottom. while batter is mixing take crushed wafers and combine melted butter and sugar together. press firmly and evenly on bottom of pan and place in refrigerator for 5-10 min or until cool. once cake mixture is fully combined pour into pan and place in oven. *** Once the door to the oven is closed DO NOT OPEN IT!!!! until 2 hours are completed. again DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN..  OK now that you get the point.  set timer for 15 minutes. once that is done turn the oven down to 275* but don't open it!! then bake for an additional 1 hour. and turn off the oven, again. DON'T OPEN IT! lol let the cake sit in the oven for another 45 minutes while its still hot in there. its still baking. After 2 full hours in the oven take it out and place in refrigerator until cool.
ENJOY!  Its delicious. eat it plain. or with your favorite jam, I covered mine in cannoli cream, Yummm!  


I don't have any pictures of the production but here's one of the finally outcome.
