James made a wonderful dinner tonight… he cooked rice, sausage, and green beans…mixed them together and then stuffed red bell peppers. He cooked them in the oven. They came out delicious. We are enjoying healthier meals and this one was tops. James is a wonderful cook and I am blessed to have a husband who enjoys mixing and creating yummy foods for us to eat.

So after church tonight we had a Fall Fellowship. Everyone brings soup, bread and pie. James made the soup and it was delicious, but he will have to post that recipe. He picked out the pie recipe (Taste of Home 2009 Quick Cooking Annual Recipes) but I was the one who made it this afternoon. It was delicious also and I am sure you have guessed what it was… Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake. It was a simple recipe and only took about 45 minutes to mix and bake.

The Recipe: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 30 min + cooling

1 jar (12 ounces) maraschino cherries

2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

1 chocolate cookie crust (9 inches)

6 chocolate covered cherries (although I didn’t use these)

Drain the maraschino cherries, reserving 2 tsp cherry juice. Cut the maraschino cherries into quarters; set aside. In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and reserved cherry juice. Add the eggs; beat just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and cherries.

Pour into the crust (crust will be full). Bake at 350º for 30-35 min or until the center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack. Serve with chocolate covered cherries. 6 servings

Hope you enjoy and don’t make your pieces to big because it is very rich!
