Lime Cheesecake

2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup white sugar
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs

1 prepared graham cracker crumb crust (or what I did was to use 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 6 tbsp melted butter--combine and press into pie plate. Bake for 7-8 mins at 350 degrees. Cool before filling with following...


Mix cream cheese, sugar, lime juice, peel and vanilla on medium speed until well-blended. Add eggs. Mix until blended. Pour into crust. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 35-40 minutes. Cool and refrigerate.

This was very refreshing and had a subtle lime flavor that my family really enjoyed. Just thought I'd share!

For anyone that's ever gone to a pow wow and likes fry bread,and for those who have never had it,it tastes alot like a funnel cake or zeppoles.

3 cups of water
1 package of yeast
3 tablespoons of sugar
1 and half tablespoons salt
1/4 cup of oil
flour

Combne water,salt,sugar,yeast and oil.Stir in the flour until the dough is moist,but does not stick to the hands.Knead on a floured surface adding flour as needed.Knead until it feels satiny.Let it rest 20 minutes in a covered bowl.Pinc of a piece and gently stretch until flat and thin in the center.Fry in about 1/2 inch of hot oil until golden brown,turn over.The bread will tell you when it's ready-it will float in the oil.Eat it with powdered sugar,or cinnamon and sugar,or you can stuff them with cherries or apple pie fillings.
