Po Did a No No

Our new puppy Po is a large breed puppy and at 4 months 42 pounds and getting taller. He had never attempted to eat anything we had setting on the counter, however, this afternoon the smell of the Jell-o cheesecake was apparently more than he could resist.

I had mixed the jell-o cheesecake and had one in a graham cracker crust, one in a pie pan without a crust for my sister that is gluten intolerant, and what was left over, in a bowl in front of the sink.

If Po was going to be bad, I really am glad he dug into the one he did and with no mess. Well, he did leave one tell tell sign of pink on his side about the size of a dime and I am not sure how he managed to do that.

With that said, I will take the Jell-o Cheesecake to one sister for her birthday a tad early and the bowl with no crust that I intended to leave here, for the other sister and gluten intolerant to enjoy.

Po did a no no.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip: Fluffy and Delicious

 Growing pumpkins in our as close to organic garden as you can find, I have used them in many ways from pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin black bean burgers and now pumpkin cheesecake dip which is fluffy and delicious.

First seeing the recipe for pumpkin cheesecake dip on facebook, I instantly clicked on the link for the recipe. I scanned it and saved the page. While I was at work, Mozilla shut down and I lost my page.

I started searching pumpkin dip and realized there were many versions; however, I ended up combining two recipes to incorporate the ingredients I remembered. Now while my fresh cooked pumpkin is not as thick as the canned stuff, I will continue to use it as I know where these pumpkins come from and how near organic they actually are.

If you love cheesecake of all kinds Then you will love this recipe for no-bake strawberry cheesecake. This would be great for a birthday cake, Easter, Mother's or Father’s Day, Memorial Day, the 4th of July or any meal you simply want to please your family.
My sister's favorite cheesecake is the jell-o cheesecake our mom made and requested it for her birthdays. Growing organic strawberries, the combination just sounded great to me. I used low-fat cottage cheese and cream cheese along with sugar-free jell-o to reduce the calories and combined the great taste of strawberries and cheesecake. I hope you enjoy it too.
