  1. Lets get into the spirit. Make a nice soda cake. Or do things with apples. And Joys cheese cake sounds delicious. Don't tell her. I don't like cheese cake. But my wife loves it.

  3. I don't like plain cottage cheese but I do love it in baked goods. I also use it for cottage cheese pancakes and if I am out of Ricotta, I substitute cottage cheese. I would like to try this.
