Pumpkin Cheesecake With Natural Sweeteners!

Mmmm, Pumpkin Cheesecake with no guilt!

Baby loves it!

Jon trying to make sure to eat it all quickly before brother asks for some. lol!

I found a recipe online that was changed up from a regular pumpkin cheesecake recipe. I did a little changing of my own as you'll soon see. This recipe was fabulous! I would definitely use less butter for the crust next time but that's the only thing I'd change up other than the changes I've already made that you see below. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do. It's fabulous!

Pumpkin Cheesecake by Miss Lizzy

Ingredients

Crust:

1 3/4 cups ground almond and/or almond meal (I used almonds and pecans. I also added in some salt)

3 tablespoons honey (optional - I did not add this)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 stick melted salted butter

Filling:

3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature

1 (15-ounce) can pureed pumpkin

3 eggs plus 1 egg yolk

1/4 cup sour cream

1 1/2 - 2 cups honey (I used 1 cup honey, 1/2 cup maple syrup and then a bit extra honey to taste)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg (I used about 1/4 teaspoon ground (not fresh)

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

For crust:

In medium bowl, combine almond meal, honey and cinnamon. Add melted butter. Mix well. (If the crust seems too dense, just add a little more almond meal). Press mixture down flat into a 9-inch springform pan**. Set aside.

For filling:

Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, egg yolk, sour cream, honey and the spices. If it needs more honey add more as needed. Add vanilla. Beat together until well combined. Note: The batter may seem sweet but it loses some sweetness in the baking. So better to add a little more honey to be safe.)

Pour batter into crust. Spread out evenly and place in oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.

Note: I had to bake my cheesecake for an extra 15 minutes or so, turning off the oven for the last 5 minutes.

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery. So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy. I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out. I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing. Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful. I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips. At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery. I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible. So my food options may seem different than ma...

Gardening tips on a budget

Matt planting our $5 tree. It's 3 years old now and is gorgeous!!! A variety of basil panted in a container. Our lovely calendula. This is a family favorite grown from seed. Cherry tomatoes. Squash Another variety of basil. That was just a bit of what I grew a couple years ago. Bean plant. Lovely lavender! Many times I've wanted to plant a massive garden or have several plants I could simply not afford. Not just that but other things such as mulch, weed blankets and more. I hope you find the tips below as helpful as we have. Please feel free to add your own gardening tips. 1. Purchase trees at the end of the season. We've gotten a few trees for $5 and $10 at the end of the season. We planted them and they've done just fine! Talk about a huge savings! You can also do this with bulbs and other plants. :) 2. Use newspaper for weed barrier protection instead of the weed blankets. You'll want to do this fairly thick; anywhere from 5...

2020 From A Chronic Illness Warrior

Friends, the year 2020 has definitely looked different that’s for sure. It’s been interesting talking to my other friends with chronic illnesses and getting their perspective. For me this is what has changed. Positives: There have been more online freebies as far as events than I have ever seen. This has been great for the person with chronic illness and we all hope some of these things continue. Things such as online church, zoo, ballets, concerts, etc. No more trying to fake feeling good when I had to go out because I’m not getting out. So many more places are doing online pick up instead of just Walmart and Kroger. I needed those services before coronavirus hit the United States. Now having so many more options; it’s been a wonderful!! People finally don’t guilt trip me into going to events and family functions because they know I’m high risk. Before I felt like I had to explain away everything if I didn’t feel good enough to go somewhere. ...
