Cheesecake

I made up the little cheesecakes. You could double the recipe. I only made ten. I also made some spinach and cheese thing but it tasted like spinach pie.
1 8oz. pkg. cream cheese
2/3 c. sugar
1/2 t. vanilla
1/2 t. pumpkin pie seasoning
1/2 t. cinnamon
10 gingersnaps
Put muffin papers in tray and spray.
Add 1 gingersnap.
Mix remaining ingredients and pour into muffin cups about 2/3 full.
Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes. They are done when lightly browned and cracked.

Breakfast

For some reason eggs-n-a basket taste better to kids then just eggs and toast. Maybe it has to do with frying it in butter with salt and pepper. I just know they scarf them down super fast. It's not just my kids. Dori's kids loved them, daycare kids used to like them, and when Ronnie was little he loved them. I tried oatmeal again the other day. I added apple syrup, raisins, and brown sugar. Schyler was the only one who ate it. The other 3 would not touch it. They never liked baby cereal either. We make alot of egg nog shakes. The boys love egg nog. They prefer it cold. If you'd like the shake without adding eggnog, just add cinnamon and nutmeg. It will give it that flavor.
Eggnog:
2 eggs beaten
3 T. sugar
2 1/3 c. milk
1t. vanilla
nutmeg and cinnamon
Heat milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla in saucepan on low heat just until warm. Take about 1/2 cup of the warm milk out and add to eggs. Whisk eggs into the rest of the milk. Heat a few more minutes. Keep whisking. I like to add to my blender and mix for a few seconds or use my hand blender. Cool or serve warm.

With the holidays coming I like to look through my endless supply of magazines and cookbooks looking for great ideas for treats and dinners. Isn't it crazy how we spend soooo much time searching for recipes and planning meals? I love this time of year! This year I'm going to make a regular pumpkin pie (Billy has to have that on thanksgiving) and something different. I saw a neat recipe for a turtle pumpkin pie. YUM!! I also might make pumpkin risotto.
In the freezer section at meijers that have all kinds of new raviolies. I'd like to try the pumpkin. They are $4.99 a bag. They are also getting different holiday snacks out, which makes me want to waste money. Remember how I used to go crazy at Target buying neat holiday treats?
I'm also making pumpkin rolls. I know those are Rhonda's favorite. I thought about making cookies to sell, then I said, "am I NUTS!"
Coconut just pooped in the house so I'm done for now.
