I love to cook and bake - so spending time learning about either of these with friends is a lot of fun for me.
We met up at Green Plum Cooking School, which I had blogged about back here. Chef Monica Pope showed us how to make a lovely Romaine, Date and Olive Salad, but that was quickly eclipsed by the other item on the menu - a delectable Rice Pudding, infused with Creme Fraiche, White Chocolate and Mint. It was simply divine.
Since this was a girly morning, and we were going to a cooking class - i decided i wanted to make some sweet treats for the lovely gals who came along with me. I didn't want to make the usual cupcakes, so I decided to make some little cheesecakes. I have seen on a lot of blogs that people are cooking cupcakes in jars now, so I thought I would try this same theory out with Lemon Cheesecakes. They were a hit!
So what were your weekend happenings?

Everything looks so good Dionne, I really should think about taking a cooking/baking class!
This weekend I worked, went to a moving away party and a housewarming party, went to Quilt Sunday at The Workroom and the first meeting of the brand-new Toronto Modern Quilt Guild. It was all quite fun...other than the work part, ya know.
Dionne,
Cheesecake is my true weakness. I'm literally drooling over those mini jars of deliciousness!

How fun! I love taking cooking classes... the hubs and I have done that a few times and it's always so much fun.
Mmm...you're making me SO hungry for those yummy looking treats. Although, I might be able to have my mom make rice pudding--it's a family favorite over here, and she makes it SO good. :)
Ooh I am so mad now that I missed the cooking class because those lemon cheesecakes looks amazing! How do you make them in the jars like that?
What an amazing idea and that rice pudding looks absolutely delish!
So cute and sweet!
That is fabulous!!!! I spent my weekend trying to paint my little man's dresser a new color. I found this fabulous new paint scheme by Disney. They had patterns for winnie the pooh stuff! So I'm attempting to copy the pattern I have. It's coming along VERY SLOWLY since I'm not the most artistic person in the world. If only you were here to give me pointers...lol. I think I will postpone the rest of the dresser and try out jarred cheesecake...yummmmmm. You're amazing!
That is fantastic! I'd love to see the recipe!
Honestly, I'm going to accidentally on purpose find myself in Houston without a place to stay so I can position us on your doorstep with a note pinned to our lapels that says "Hungry." What shall you do about it, dear cook? I'm hungry!
Those look amazing but how do you get it out of those tiny little jars? Does a spoon fit??
Yummy little cheesecakes in cute little jars! Drool. We spent the weekend preparing--my mother-in-law is coming from Chicago to stay with us in less than 10 days! Yes, I'm counting down. I want her to be comfortable here, and I also want to play tour guide because she's never seen Edmonds before. It's also an excuse to plan for things we normally have no time for :)
All your weekends sound fab! Heather, I wanna see the dresser! And Kelly, how cool that your mama in law is coming!
The cheesecake jars fit about 6 heaped teaspoons and you can eat them right out if the jar. Michele, I will send you a Facebook message with the recipe.
Those little cheesecakes are so adorable!
those cheesecake things look sooo good! what a great way to spend the day with your friends!
Both those dishes sound delish... I love the packaging of the cheesecakes! My weekend was filled with relaxing, seeing Sherlock Holmes (so good), and some shopping :)
What beautiful food! It makes me hungry just to look at it! My roommate and I have been talking about taking a cooking class this summer and this just solidifies our need to do that. How fun!
the baby cheesecakes are too cute for words!!
btw, i got my package!! loved everything!! so much fun stuff!! :) thanks again sweet girl!!
how fun! i really want to take a cooking class!
The little cheesecakes look exquisite!
That rice pudding certainly looks great. I've been thinking about investing in a cooking class seeing what I can learn from it.
YUM. Cheesecake + friends + photos = HAPPY.
Cheers!
Daisy
