Cooking Kale with Beer

If you're a fan of beer, perhaps you might like to cook it with your greens.  The inspiration behind this dish came from my sister's trip to Montreal a few years ago.  She ate something similar at a restaurant and thought it had interesting flavours and looked like it would be easy to make.

Here are the ingredients for this dish:
- One bunch of kale
- A few cloves of garlic (make sure you take out the white stem in the center of each clove to reduce the outcome of gas. A trick I learned from one of my cooking classes... haha)
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Paprika
- 1 can of beer
- Additional seasoning of your choice (optional).  We used "Slap Ya Mama" Cajun seasoning, which was something my sister picked up when she was in New Orleans.

Delicious Autumn Cheesecake

I've always wanted to learn how to make a cheesecake since it's such a classic dessert. I decided for my family Christmas dinner this year that it would be a great opportunity for me to learn how to make one and serve it for the dessert course. The recipe that I picked was the Autumn Cheesecake from Allrecipes.com.
