Back to Desserts

The basement is done... sorta. We still haven't found the time to go through all the junk in the garage, so the basement is pretty sparse. Most of the Christmas stuff is in the back storage space, but that's just about it. Hopefully we'll find some time soon and I'll post a final "furnished" post.

But for now, back to desserts. We started doing the "Real Food" thing where we try to cut out all overly processed foods. This includes hydrogenated oils, white flour and processed sugar. Prior to this, we had made cheesecakes for each other for special events. I found a recipe on 100 Days of Real Food (http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2014/01/28/recipe-individual-cheesecakes/) for individual cheesecakes. It does have some white sugar, but not very much. I don't know if a good cheesecake can be made with just honey or maple syrup. I planned on making this for Valentine's Day, but some bad weather and having to work late cut into my free evening time.

Overall it tasted okay, but I didn't like the consistency. It wasn't quite firm enough for my cheesecake preferences.

Four were eaten before I thought to take a picture :)
