It has never been something that I wanted to do. I hated gym in school growing up...
Never did sports, although I was in band...
I also hate any sort of structured activity that even has the appearance of exercise...
Call is Zumba dance, call it Aerobics, call it whatever you want...repetitive movement, targeting areas of the body, that makes you sweat, is exercise...
Not for me...
Mind you I love being active. So that is a positive...
So pumpkin cheesecake...
I guess I will share...
2 bricks of creamcheese softened 1 can pumpkin (15oz) 12 oz of sour cream pumpkin pie spice to taste 3/4 cups of sugar 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla graham cracker crust
Ok so I bake this using a springform pan. Wrap the bottom in tinfoil up the sides so water doesn't get in when you are baking. It will be thick. After it's cooked, it will be heavy. Or you can use two premade graham cracker crusts but it doesn't work as well...
Beat the cream cheese and sour cream together until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time until blended. Then add the pumpkin, sugar, vanilla, and spices. Mix.
Pour into the crust. Place the foil covered spring form pan into a flat pan with about 1/2 water. This will keep it from cracking as it bakes.
Bake on 350 for about 60-65 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool for one hour and then transfer to the fridge for at least 4 hours.
Then enjoy...
