When I was first married, I really didn't cook often. My husband and I
lived in Las Vegas at the time, and there was never a less expensive
place to eat out. Plus, we both grew up hardly ever eating out, so it
was a treat we enjoyed often. Fast forward several years, and I cooked
at home daily after my son was born. I started keeping track of recipes I
used by writing notes in cookbooks or on newspaper clippings reminding
myself why I made it and what we thought of it. They were reminders of
parties, great times and what we served. So when I opened a binder
stuffed with recipe copies, my eye stopped on the notes I made in the
margin of this cheesecake recipe. It read: Alex's Kindergarten
Graduation 6/96. Oh goodness, the memories! Alex is 25 now, but this cheesecake will forever make me think of him as that little boy proudly walking across the stage to become a first grader!
Isn't that the best thing about food? It evoke memories of good times, good food, and good friends!
I hope this Mini Mango Cheesecake brings wonderful memories for you and that you make it often. Tropical foods is the theme for #Sunday Supper this week, and when I think of tropical foods I think of mango's. They fit into this cheesecake perfectly. To see what everyone else made, read below.
