Three more states have legalized marriage for the LGBT community! So proud of our country for this progress, & I cannot wait to see Louisiana on the list!
Election 2012.
Everyone should exercise their right to vote! I went when I got off of school tonight and made my voice heard. Did you?!
Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie November 3, 2012
Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie has quickly become a Fall Favorite in our home, with my husband asking when I’ll be making it again. It’s simply delicious, and even I enjoy it (I am not big on pumpkin at all)! The recipe is extremely easy, even a beginner baker could pull it off with flair.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie
You will need a 9-inch pie plate for this recipe.
Crust:
2 C Graham Crackers, finely crushed
1 Tbsp Sugar
3 Tbsp Butter, melted
Filling:
11 oz Cream Cheese, softened
1 C Sugar
15 oz Solid Pack Pumpkin
3 Tbsp Flour
1 Tbsp milk
1/4 tsp Cloves
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
3 Eggs, lightly beaten
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a small bowl combine graham crackers, sugar, and butter.
3. Press into an ungreased, 9-inch pie plate.
4. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
5. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until it reaches a smooth consistency.
6. Add pumpkin, flour, milk, and spices. Beat until well combined with cream cheese mixture.
7. Add in eggs, and beat on low until just combined.
8. Bake 40-50 minutes. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
My notes:
-I put my graham crackers in the food processor. It’s much faster than trying to finely crush by hand.
-I garnish with whipped cream just before serving, and sometimes add ground cinnamon over the whip for a little extra spice.
Mathematical Success – Sec. 2.6 September 9, 2012
Section 2.6 was a SUCCESS. 100%! This is a huge turnaround from my struggles last semester, contributed in part by evil little things called gall stones.
Hi There! May 26, 2012
Welcome to my (new) blog! Here you’ll find the simplistic ramblings of a 20-something student {Education major} who currently works in a doctor’s office {yuck}.
Here are some simple facts about me:
-I’m married to the love of my life.
-My chihuahua, Jasper, is like my child.
-I scrapbook and cross-stitch.
-We live with my parents, but are trying to change it.
-I love coffee, blowpops, Lisa Frank, and headbands.
-My favorite times of the year are Mardi Gras, Black Friday, and school supply season.
-I have a TV show addiction that is seriously random: Gossip Girl, Bones, Secret Life of the American Teenager, Criminal Minds, etc.
-I cannot live function without coffee and I read at a ridiculous rate.
-The best gift I was ever given was a book called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I’m also into all the cliche series: Twilight, Hunger Games, House of Night, etc. And I read the usual authors: Nora Roberts, Stephen King, Debbie Macomber, Elin Hildebran, Dean Koontz.
Ok, so maybe those weren’t all “simple” facts. But you get the gist of it, right? Anywho..
On my sidebar, you’ll find the “Follow Me!” button, along with recent Flickr photos (look to those to see what may be up & coming), my Goodreads “Currently Reading” list, and my archives. Enjoy!
