Also known as: "Dont Rule Out These Mini Cheesecakes"
Please tell me I am not the only one who has a list of rules when dating someone. Please tell me I am not the only whos list keeps getting longer the older I get. Here are a couple of my dating rules Do not show me the engine of your car, no matter how cool you think it is. Unless you are storing a box of chocolates under the hood, I just dont care. Do not talk about your various surgeries while Im eating my Caesar salad. I think these seem like reasonable requests. One rule is for sure: Bake These Mini Cheesecakes! They are fabulous and a real crowd pleaser!
