Recent Discovery!

Your food processor that you use to crush the cookie's into smithereens....well, that same processor, if it is big enough, is the PERFECT thing to mix the cheesecake filling too! You really can't use a hand mixer because you end up with too much air in the cheesecake and that makes it fall and crack and etc......and hand mixing is just a pain in the BUTT!

So! Don't make my mistake and buy the 7 cup Cuisinart! Go for the big one! At least the 12 cup!!!!

Sometimes, bigger IS better! ;)
