 Summary
People have been trying to improve this recipe for years...why? It's not your Jello recipe. It's good old fashioned cheese cake. The only thing missing is; it's not from New York, but with a little persuasion maybe hubby will take y'all there. You treat him nice now he'll treat you nice later; how do you think I made it to every state in the Republic (except Maine).
