Sugar Free Mini Cheesecakes
"I modified a recipe from www.CookingForEngineers.com to make it more diabetic friendly. These are great and there are so many variations to try for toppings and crusts. I do recommend using the paper lined aluminum muffin cups. They make it much easier to remove the cheesecakes from the pan while cooling. You can double or triple the recipe for OAMC. These freeze perfectly."

I am married and a father of 2. I love to hunt, fish, trap, hike, rock climb, camp, garden and cook. By trade I am a welder, but I also make knives and am a semi-professional blacksmith.
My family and I live on a self-sustainable homestead. We raise a big garden of heirloom vegetables. I collect antique varieties of apple, pear, plum, quince, cherry, mulberry and grapes. We raise meat rabbits, chickens for meat and eggs and we raise 2 breeds of pigs.
I make my own beer, cider, perry and wine. I also have a medicinal garden from which I make a lot of herbal remedies. I use organic, self sufficient practices with everything I raise to eat and plan on teaching this to my kids as they grow up.
