I was looking around the house for some of my mom's old cookbooks and I found a pretty neat dessert cookbook that looks as if it came right out of the 70's. The Book is called "Desserts Cookbook" and it's by Kitchen Fare. That's all the information I have on it.  There's no copyright date. Anywho, I found the most amazing recipe for a "Blueberry Torte".  Try it out and tell me what you think.  It's very simple.


Blueberry Torte

16 graham crackers, crushed
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted butter

Mix and pat into 8-inch square pan.


Filling

1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs

Cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Pour over crust and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool and pour can of blueberry pie filling over top. Refrigerate. Garnish servings with whipped cream. Serves 6.

Hey guys,

My mother taught me to knit over the past year, but it has been years since she last knit and she doesn't remember how to finish up the project.  I am making a scarf and I don't know the correct way to remove it without losing the whole scarf.  I need your help.  Thanks.

I've only done this once and the image was pealing throughout the night.  Is there a way to avoid this?

Hello everybody,

I need some serious help here.  Here's the problem:  I share a small room with my sister Bridget and she takes up all the closet space, lol, and there's hardly room in the room for me to organize my shoes.  Basically, my shoes are all piled up in a laundry basket on the floor.  It's absolutely horrible! I need a cute idea to organize my shoes- something small, but cute and dandy.   Does anyone have any ideas?  I desperately need your help.

tehe.

If you have any ideas, please PM me.  Have a beautiful Sunday!

Sincerely,

Mary

I saw an idea on Martha Stewart.com for Baby Felt Shoes!! Now this is the best part...

We should all make Baby Felt Shoes and donate them to organizations like Birthright for new mothers who are having trouble with expenses, etc.

A few organizations:

Birthright

(Pro-Life Organizations) - organize fundraisers for money and supplies for new mothers.

What do you all think? If you like my idea or would like to help, please e-mail me, Mary at m2thebizzax@gmail.com
