Sour Cream Cheesecake with Blueberry Compote


This recipe turned out really well. The blueberry compote was so easy to make and much better than anything premade. The cheesecake is an old recipe and the blueberry sauce was just by the seat of my pants. Enjoy!


Cheesecake:
25 shortbread cookies, crumbled  (I smashed mine in a Zip Lock bag!)
2 Tbs. butter, melted
3 8oz. packages cream cheese, softened
1 14oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 8oz. container sour cream
4 eggs
1 Tbs. vanilla extract (I make my own with vanilla beans and vodka)

Blueberry Compote:
1 pint blueberries
1/4 C sugar
1/3 C water
Juice of 1 lemon
1 Tbs. butter


Preheat oven to 350. Combine cookie crumbs and butter and press into the bottom of a 9" spring form pan. Beat cream cheese until fluffy. Slowly add sweetened condensed milk until well combined. Add eggs one at a time mixing well. Add sour cream and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth. Pour mixture into prepared  pan and bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are brown. The center will be a bit soft. It really rises in the oven but will settle into place as it cools. Cool in pan for about and hour and then chill. Remove spring form pan and top with prepared blueberry sauce.
Blueberry Compote: Heat blueberries, sugar, water and lemon juice in a sauce pan over medium heat until reduced and thickened about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted. You can serve it warm or chilled to your preference.

Easy Mushroom and Spinach Quiche

Hubby and I love quiche but with life being what it is I don't always have time to make crust, sautee and cool spinach and veggies, hand shred cheese then bake. So here is my throw together quiche.  So I used store bought everything. I even used frozen roasted mushrooms! Make sure to defrost spinach and mushrooms and set to drain to get out as much water as possible.  Next place refrigerated pie crust in a 9 inch pie plate and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes. I use clean, dried beans instead of pie weights.  In the meantime mix up the egg mixture and measure out the cheeses. Remove pie weights or play find the lucky bean. Layer spinach and mushrooms and top with cheese. Pour egg mixture over the top.  Bake for 45 minutes or until middle is set and top is browned and delicious.  So here is the recipe: 1 refrigerated pie crust 1 10 oz. box frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry 1 8oz. bag frozen roasted mushrooms, thawed and squeezed dry 1 cup shredded cheese of...

Whiskey Kitchen Again,,

Well it was time for a Whiskey Kitchen lunch. I haven't had a bad meal once! Fried green tomatoes, fried cheese curds and a huge bowl of salad. Salad is easy but with super fresh ingredients and homemade Maytag Blue Cheese dressing it's a great lunchtime choice. Seriously, if you are in Nashville you have to try it!

Chipotle Mexican Grill **

Seems I'm on a Mexican kick! Chipotle Mexican Grill is located next to Earth Fare on University Drive. The decor is simple and the music is hip. I have heard great things about Chipotle from several friends and was very excited when one opened here recently. They use sustainable sourced ingredients and all their meat has no added hormones or antibiotics. It's the way food should be produced and prepared. I must say that I was very disappointed with our visit. The service was less than stellar with trash bins overflowing with messy tables and beverage area. The folks behind the counter were more involved with their own conversations and being snarky with one another. They just opened so they were very busy but so are a lot of places. I had a braised carnitas burrito bowl and Hubby had the barbacoa burrito. All I can say was that it wasn't the worst food I've ever had. The meat lacked flavor and the rice had several bits of uncooked pieces. We left a little sad and cravin...
