This easy Cheese Cake recipe actually makes a pie.
Make a graham cracker crust for an 8-9-inch pie using the directions on the graham cracker crumb box or keep it extra simple and buy a pre-made graham cracker crust. I prefer to make mine.
Brush the pie crust shell with one beaten egg yolk (mix with a tiny bit of water if too thick) and bake at 375 degrees for 5 minutes. Let cool.
One 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese (beaten)
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Dash salt
Blend these ingredients in a mixing bowl. Then add 2 eggs, one at a time, beat after each. I also add the egg white from the egg yolk I used to brush on the pie shell. Pour filling into crust and bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
1 cup sour cream
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Mix ingredients. Spoon over top of pie and spread evenly. Bake 10 minutes longer. Chill several hours. Serve plain or with your favorite fresh berries.

Black Dog Chili
Don't worry--no black dogs were harmed while making this great chili alternative.
One 1-lb. pkg. flavorful hot dogs diced into quarter-inch pieces (I use Nathan's Beef franks)
1-lb. ground turkey or turkey breast
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 medium white onion, diced
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1 small orange bell pepper, diced
Two 6-oz. cans tomato paste
Two 15-oz. cans black beans, rinse and drain
Two 15-oz. cans diced tomatoes, with juice
4 tsp. chili powder
1 and 1/2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. red (cayenne) pepper
Brown ground turkey in vegetable oil with onion and garlic. Add diced dogs, bell peppers and seasonings. Thoroughly stir in tomato paste. Add beans and tomatoes and simmer on low heat until all ingredients are soft, stirring often. Serve straight or over rice or pasta. Top with sour cream and shredded cheese. I serve straight with the sour cream and cheese and tortilla chips to scoop or crumble.
