Individual Blueberry Cheesecakes

I’m doing a lot of cooking with my homemade Greek yogurt these days. I find it’s a great substitute for lots of less healthy things, like cream cheese, sour cream, and, with a little sugar added, whipped toppings for fruit desserts.

Fuitcake Cookies

My MIL made the only thing I actually liked using the old fashioned citron fruit mix – a very soft cookie. Not a bar, just a regular cookie.
