One of the best coffee cakes I have ever tried! It made the house smell so good while it was baking we couldn't wait to taste it :) Instead of 1 cup of veg oil I used 1/2 cup cinnamon applesauce and 1/2 cup of canola oil. I also left out the nuts because we're not crazy about them in cake. YUM! It was so good that I think I will make another for my Dads birthday this weekend ;)

This soup was amazing!! I cooked the veggies in 3 cups of chicken stock as I didn't have any bouillon. Didn't need any salt but definitely added pepper. I added extra ham and instead of making the rue, I substituted the 2 cups of milk for 2 cups of half and half cream, put it in a container (with lid) and shook it for a few seconds until flour dissolved. I added it to the soup and it was thick within seconds!! It helped to save time and the soup turned out perfect. I grated a little smoked cheddar cheese into it once it was done...SO good!!

Great! Added little more cream cheese and less whip cream, it turned out perfect. Instead of sliced strawberries..I made my own fresh strawberry sauce. I took 1 cup of fresh (or frozen) strawberries, added a few tablespoons of cran-apple juice (or whatever kind), a few tablespoons of honey and a tsp of cornstarch. Simmered in a small pot on low for about 15-20 minutes. Refrigerate and spoon over cheesecake when ready. It was SO tasty and better than most restaurant cheesecakes. I think next time I may try light cream cheese and light Cool Whip for a slightly healthier version =)
