Two Birthdays For The Price Of One

by Dena

Today is the day my wonderful husband drew his first breath in this world. Also the day our brother, Chad, was born. Both have a highly sensitive palate and share many of the same tastes in food, often resulting in unnecessary remarks about my cooking.

On birthdays I ignore such and plow on through. This year my honey chose to have a New York Cheescake made from scratch for his special dessert. I’ve made them for him quite a few times, and often tweak the ingredients here and there. This time, I tried a completely different recipe.

I also used my new Pampered Chef springform pan. My last one was old, bent, and scraped in places. This one has a glass bottom and I have no idea how it will work. (I’m covering my bases on this)

Tonight we will try the cheesecake, along with meatloaf, pinto beans, cornbread, and homemade mashed potatoes. For now, a few pictures of the birthday boy. I will be nice and not post any of him sporting a Hannah Montana wig trying to look like Bret Michaels.
