Ingredients

16 ounces cream cheese
1 pint sour cream 500 mL
5 large eggs
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond

Directions

Cream the cream cheese, then add the ingredients in the order given, one at a time.

Pour into a spring form pan on top of a graham wafer crust.

Bake at 325 degree F in the oven for one hour, then turn off the oven, do not open the door for one hour.

If you have a self-cleaning oven, you will need to open the door just a little, and prop it open for the hour (I find a folded grocery bag is the right size).

Remove from oven, and put the cake into the fridge (after it cools) for about 8 hours.

Top with fruit-cherry pie filling, fresh or frozen strawberries, etc. then with a dollop of whipped cream.

Black Bean Patties

These are quick to make and great for using up leftover rice, quinoa, barley, or other grains. And the cumin really adds the perfect touch of flavor (although I do add some salt). I make these as an accompaniment to squash soup or other cream-based soup...perfect for harvest time. I really enjoy simple food, and these are perfect. My kids enjoy them too...they say they look like chocolate chip cookies and like them dipped in ketchup.
