dear dluc if your reading this. it's day 22, & it reminds me of you.

two of my best friends are engaged, both are getting married next fall.
i miss wedding planning terribly, but..
i was so excited to attend one of their engagement parties last weekend!
she said don't bring anything, yeah right, an excuse to bake?
i went with an old family staple, one of my moms best.
1 8oz pack of cream cheese
6 tablespoons of sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 box of vanilla wafers (don't worry there are extra to nibble on!)
1 can of cherry pie filling

mix cream cheese & sugar, mix in egg & vanilla.
fill cupcake pan with foil liners (hold together better)
place one vanilla wafer at bottom of each foil liner
fill about 3/4 way with cream cheese mix
bake @ 350 for about 15 minutes

cool completely

top with pie filling!

makes 12 mini cheesecakes! yum!
