Quick Cheesecake tarts

First things first. I'm having a horrendous time with blogger lately. I cannot get the Compose screen to let me type anything. I'm doing it all in the html screen and I'm not able to format there. I'm using IE 8. So apologies. For tonight's Golden Ears Writers group, I had promised mini cheesecakes. But to do them properly, I need two hours. There's parchment paper involved and the special pans and the crust to be made, yatta yatta ya..... I know, right. 20 frozen tart shells on cookie sheet baked for 12 minutes at 375 degrees. 500 grams of Island Farms Cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of roasted pecan syrup, 1 tsp granulated white sugar, 1 egg, Beat on low speed for 2 minutes. Take tart shells out and drop teaspoons of cream cheese into tart shells. Take 1 1/2 cup frozen blueberries and 4 tbsps of granulated white sugar and microwave for 2.5 minutes at 70% power. Stir several times during this time. Put a spoonful on each cream cheese filled tart. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Let cool.

Cheese Roll Ups

This was just an off the cuff idea I had for yesterdays complement to the spaghetti dinner I made for the kids.  They loved it, so with that kind of review, I'm happy to pass it on. 10 inch cheese tortillas ricotta cheese garlic hummus medium hot salsa Spread ricotta cheese across the entire tortilla.  Then spread hummus across the ricotta.  In the center of the tortilla, leave about 2 tablespoons of the salsa in a line across the center.  Roll the tortilla up, keeping the mixture inside.  Place on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 350 for about 15 to 20 minutes.
