Mini Cheesecake Tarts



Ingredients
*2 8 oz. packages cream cheese
*3/4 cup sugar
*2 tablespoons flour
*1/4 teaspoon baking powder
*2 eggs
*1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
*1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
*12 Nilla Wafers cookies
Directions:
pre heat the oven to 375
With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar.  Add in flour and baking powder and beat to combine.

 
Fill a muffin pan with foil liners and place one Nilla Wafer in the bottom of each.  Divide batter between 12 muffin papers, filling each cup up to about 1/4 inch from the top.  Bake for 15-18 min. or until a toothpick is inserted into the middle and comes out clean.


Ainsley and I were going to make something for Ainsley's Orchestra party.  So, we looked through "Our Best Bites" and found this recipe.  We had to make 32!  So we used mini cupcakes.  But, we didn't have Nilla Wafers.  Instead we used graham crackers.  If you use our way they can get a little messy.  They are still delicious!!

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!

Pumpkin Bread





Ingredients
*pumpkin 15 OZ.
*5 eggs
*1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
*2 cups flour
*2 cups sugar
*2 packages of 3 oz. vanilla pudding mix
*1 teaspoon baking soda
*1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
*1/2 teaspoon salt

MAKE SURE YOU PUT IN THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PUMPKIN OR YOU WILL HAVE TO DOUBLE THE RECIPE!!!!!


Directions:
pre heat oven to 325 degrees
mix ingredients

pour into give 5 greased mini. bread pans
bake for 50-55 min.
The reason we made the words bold above is because Ainsley put all of the pumpkin in instead of just 15 oz.  (she usually messes up)  So we had to double it and use a giant bowl!

Anyway, we shared it with our class and they loved it!  They wanted more.  So if you make this for a party or thanksgiving, make sure you have a lot!
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
