Butternut Squash Bake

1/3 Cup Butter
1/3 Cup Sugar (recipe calls for 3/4 Cups but that was too much for me)
2 Eggs
1 5 Ounce Can of Evaporated Milk
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla
2 Cups Mashed and cooked Butternut Squash

Topping: Crushed Cereal (I have used Frosted Flakes, Kashi Cheerios, Granola, use whatever floats your boat), can also add butter and brown sugar to the crushed cereal for a better bake.

Bake and peel the butternut squash (it makes it easier to mash).  Once baked mash up the squash in a large bowl.  Add the butter, sugar, eggs, milk and vanilla.  Preheat the oven to 350 if you have turned it off after cooking the squash, if not turn the temp down to 350.  Pour the mixture into a pan that is 11x7 or 9x5 depending on how deep you want the squash bake to be.  Cook for 45 minutes or until the bake looks like it is mostly set.  Cover the bake with the topping and bake for 5-10 minutes.  This is good as a side dish, dessert (depending on how much sugar used), or for a breakfast dish.  If you make it the night before you have a good and healthy breakfast the next day. 

Chocolate Cheese Pie

Pastry:
1 package of Shortbread girl scout cookies (not the whole box just one package)
4 tbs fake butter

Filling:
2 250g packages of cream cheese
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 oz dark chocolate, melted

Smash up cookies really well into fine crumbs.  Melt butter add cookies and mix well.  Place on the bottom of a pie pan and flatten with the back of a spoon until all the cookie mix is flat to create the crust.  Cook in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes.

Press cream cheese until easily mixed in a large bowl.  Add eggs and sugar until light yellow in color.  Mix in the vanilla and the melted chocolate.  Pour into pie shell and bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes depending on your oven.  Once the pie is finished you can sprinkle chocolate sprinkles on it or melt more chocolate to create a shell on the top.

Mine doesn't look very chocolatey because I didn't fully melt the chocolate.  I left it a little chunky, it was still pretty yummy.
