Recipe Friday!

This recipe is one of my new favorites. The first time I had it was on the 4th of July at Stephen's sisters house and I have the recipe now-thanks Melissa! :) I was making a cheesecake this morning (because it is Stephen's favorite) and thought I would share it with you too. I highly recommend it! You could even make it low-fat or sugar-free, so maybe it is diet friendly too...at least that's what I am telling myself.

Delicious Blueberry Cheesecake



4 c blueberries
1 c sugar
2-3 T cornstarch
2 8-oz cream cheese
2 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
2/3 c lemon juice
2 t vanilla

Crust
1 1/4 c graham cracker crumbs
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c butter (softened)
1/4 t cinnamon



In saucepan, combine blueberries, 1/2 c water, sugar & cornstarch and bring to a boil. Remove from heat & cool completely.

Mix ingredients for crust. Press into 9x13" pan & refrigerate.

Mix ingredients for cream cheese filling (cream cheese, condensed milk, lemon juice, vanilla) with a blender on high until smooth. Pour over crust & refrigerate.

Once blueberry mixture is completely cooled, spread over cream cheese filling & refrigerate until served.

Here is the much awaited update on my interviews last week:

Interview #1 was with The Dalton Agency. Their office is located in downtown Jacksonville which it quite a drive from my house, but I was in awe of their offices! The building was so nice! The Dalton Agency is a advertising firm that does a lot of local advertising...clients include the Jaguars, McDonald's, and lots of others too. They were interviewing roughly 10 candidates for the front desk/administrative assistant position and said that I should not expect to hear from them before the end of this week.

Interview #2 was with HCA, which is closer to my home. HCA does most the the medical billing for almost all the hospitals in Florida and nationally too. The office close to my house deals with mostly Florida and some Alabama so I hear. This interview went well...that is after the 45 questions I was asked Miss American style in which I wanted to respond as if I was Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality "harsher punishment for parole violators, Stan. Oh, and world peace!" I am sure this would have secured the job for me on the spot! They had about 10 more people to interview too so maybe I will hear back from this later this week :) Finger are crossed!

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. I have the best friends and family a girl could ask for. After my day of interviewing and sweating in a suit in this Florida heat my friend Matt took me out to dinner. Afterwards he wanted ice cream but I talked him into trying CamiCakes :) I have documented every one's first CamiCake experience...Stephen, Libby, Grandma, Mom...so of course Matt had to be caught on camera! He loved the cupcake and actually said it was the best cupcake he had ever eaten. It looks like he enjoyed it, don't ya think?




Seriously these are the best cupcakes I have ever had and he made my day by letting me get them. Thanks Matt! Yum, it was a sweet ending to a stressful day!

One week...

...until Stephen is in Florida and we start vacation!!! I am so excited words cannot even express how ready for this I am! We are planning on road tripping from Jax-Gulf Shores, Alabama then back to Orlando and finally to Jax again :) It is going to be an awesome week plus a few days!


I am working on a post about my interviews earlier in the week, I have gotten emails asking about them and I promise I will update soon. Happy Friday every one :)
