So... have you kept your childhood faith? How many people do you know that have abandoned the religion they were raised learning and practicing to follow another religion or none at all? It is becoming very common for this to happen. In fact, the recently released study by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life shows that nearly half of American adults have left the religion they were brought up practicing. Check it out.
I don't really think this is surprising at all, its actually pretty understandable. There are so many controversial issues that surround religious practices today, that it makes people question their religion. I was raised in a Catholic home, attended Catholic School, and I can admit that there are things that make me question my beliefs. There have been times in my life when I have questioned whether there is a God, and if so.. how could he let certain things happen. I've thought about other religions and whether or not they would be more appropriate for me...but anyway.. I don't want to get too into this, just thought it was worth mentioning..

Baking :)
So... one of my favorite things to do is bake. It doesn't matter what it is or what it is for, I enjoy it. One of my favorite desserts to bake (and to eat) is cheesecake, so I am always on the prowl for new and scrumptious recipes. I found a recipe that sounds delicious and really simple compared to my usual recipe. Take a look at Mini Black-Bottom Cheesecake. The only thing I would change is to use marscarpone cheese instead of fromage blanc (or even 1/3 cup more of cream cheese, with 1/3 cup of sour cream). It is easier to find marscarpone in a supermarket than having to go to a specialty store for fromage blanc. The consistency should be about the same..its definitely a recipe I need to test out... sometime soon :)
