How to Make Easy Cheesecake: Microwave Low-Fat Cheesecake or Refrigerator Lemon Cheesecake
It is hard to fine anyone who doesn’t love cheesecake. So here are a couple different recipes to help you please the cheesecake lover in yourself, your family or your group of friends. Choices include Microwave Low-Fat cake with Fresh Berries for the persons dieting or just trying to watch their fat intake. This simple and quick to make recipe proves that low-fat doesn’t have to taste bad! Refrigerator Lemon Cheesecake requires no baking or cooking and it is very refreshing. My mother-in-law gave me the recipe when I was a teenager, long before she was my mother-in-law! Both are yummy!
MICROWAVE LOW-FAT CHEESECAKE
2 (8-oz each) fat-free cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
nonstick cooking spray
1/3 cup Graham cracker crumbs
Fresh fruit of your choice for garnish
Unwrap cream cheese and place in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium (50% power) approximately 4 minutes or until softened. Using an electric mixer, beat in the sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Spray a 9-inch pie pan with the nonstick spray until thoroughly coated. Add the Graham cracker crumbs to plate and press onto the cooking spray. Pour the cream cheese mixture onto the crumbs and place in the microwave. If your microwave has a carousel, use it. Otherwise, turn cake every 3 minutes during cooking. Cook on medium-high (70% power) for 10 to 12 minutes. The center should jiggle slightly when done. Let cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate until serving time. Garnish with the berries before serving.
REFRIGERATOR LEMON CHEESECAKE
1 pkg (4 serving size) lemon flavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 pkg (8-oz) cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 can (12-oz) evaporated milk, chilled
1 lb graham crackers
1/2 cup butter
In a small bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water; allow to cool. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Add the gelatin to the mixture and mix well. Whip evaporated milk and fold into the cream cheese mixture. Crush the graham crackers and add the melted butter. Firmly press 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan. Add the filling and sprinkle the remaining crumbs over the top. Chill several hours. This cheesecake can be frozen.
Enjoy!

What are some easy/quick shrimp recipes?
I am trying to lose weight and don’t have a lot of time to prepare dinners so I need some ideas. I have a ton of shrimp (on sale this past week) so if you have a good recipe that’s low in fat please share
HEDLEY you are so right……When you cook shrimp you must use old bay seasoning….it gives your shrimp the best taste and of course splash everything with lemon.
One jar of Alfredo sauce
pack of Alfredo noodles
red pepper (dash)
garlic
shrimp
Parmesan cheese
cook all ingredients except pasta, until shrimp is tender then serve over cooked pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Or
Sautee onions and bellpepper and garlic in butter then add one table spoon of flower to the butter then stirr until flower starts to darken (not long) then add your shrimp and seasoning, then add one can of Cream of mushroom soup (or cream of shrimp) (or half of each) which ever sounds best to you it all works…you can’t mess this up…If it seems really thick you can add just a little water…you want it kind of thick but not to thick….let it all cook till shrimp is tender and serve over rice…I’m from the South and we call this etouffee
or
season some flour, heat up some grease…mix together one egg, a little milk and seasonings…dip shrimp in egg then flour and fry 3 or 4 mins remove sprinkle a little more seasonings on it and serve with hushpuppies and fries….FRIED SHRIMP
oR

or
purchase some blackened seasoning and coat your shrimp….spray a pan with pam and throw the shrimp in…let the shrimp almost burn on each side..serve with a baked potatoe and rice a roni…
or get some shrimp scampi sauce in a bottle already made and sautee your shrimp in it and serve with your favorite sides…
