Nutella (TM) Cheesecake
We are fans of Nutella, and of both styles of cheesecake (baked & not). This was neither. I followed the recipe with the changes recommended - egg, baked, no sugar. The sweetness level was about right...but it was the only thing right about the dish. The dessert itself was very smooth, dense & heavy reminiscent of the original cream cheese bar it came from. It did not taste anything like a cheesecake - either style. The normally wonderful taste of Nutella was reduced to an ambiguous bleh. I was looking for a recipe for a special baked dish to take to an upcoming event..this was not it.

Cheesecake Ice Cream
I was hoping for a fresh ice cream with good taste & texture. Something light and non-descript in flavor. This one is not a keeper. Pros: Easy enough to make - no cooking. Common ingredients - no special trips to the store to make it. Has a great consistency and texture. Cons: Has a weird after taste, almost a bite to it. Doesn't taste like "cheese cake" at least none I've ever had.

Avocado, Tomato and Mango Salsa
I thought the idea of mango, avacado, onion and tomatos together was a really strange one. I made this anyway. I did make a few changes according to my family's tastes- left out the cilantro completly, used half of a large Anehiem pepper instead of the jalpeno (to cut the heat). This is wonderful. My husband (notorious meat & potatos guy) just knew this was going to be another of my crazy ideas...until he had his first taste. Now he is wandering the kitchen trying to figure out something else he can put this on. I would make a single batch for 2-4 people, but I can see where a potluck or large gathering would need a 3x recipe. This would also be good on fish tacos. This will be a common addition to this summer's grilling.
