My father-in-law left this morning. I made a cheesecake last night for his fair well goodbye, but I forgot that cheesecake takes 8 hours to make. I woke up this morning to take a nice picture for my blog, and this is what I found. A half eaten cheesecake. Must have been good. Mount Baker was awesome this past weekend. It wasn't the bluebird weekend I had expected, but the amount of snowfall was epic. I have so much more courage on powder days. No hesitations about my moves. I just glide down the mountain, like it's natural to be standing sideways on a board pointed downhill.

CHERRY CHEESECAKE RECIPE
Ingredients
1 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
6 tbsp butter
2 tbsp sugar
1 can cherries
Filling
2 8oz packages cream cheese
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
6 eggs
1. Preheat oven to 325 F. In a bowl mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a cheesecake pan and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool.
2. In a bowl beat the cream cheese. Next, add the sugar. Beat until fluffy. Next, add the yogurt and 6 slightly beaten eggs. Pour the mixture on top of the crust. Line the bottom of the cheesecake pan with tin foil. Place into a roasting pan and fill half way with boiling water. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and keep in oven for 1 hour to avoid cracking.
3. Finally, cool in fridge for 8 hours. Top with cherries just before serving.
