Gluten Free Crust-less Pumpkin Cheese Cake

Whew! What a busy day it was..My husbands 72 year old friend
who has no family decided to drop by today..It was four O'clock and we had just eaten lunch at pretty much the only restaurant we can eat at. It is called " Sittos". A friend introduced us to it a little while ago. It has now become our old stand bye place to eat, when are are starving. Don't get me wrong.We are not a boring family or anything, however, we do tend to order the same thing almost every time we dine at Sittos. Primarily,As you probably already know, " It's a safe place to grab some food, that we've eaten before and know it will not cause adverse side effects in relation to our Gluten Intolerant bodies..

Okay! It was time to do some fast thinking and put together a game plan for this evening dinner.

Yes, I have it!
I will make a Salad, Almond Crusted Chicken, Steamed Carrots and Homemade Mashed Potatoes..

For dessert, I decided to make:

Homemade Yogurt ( It's Gluten Free, too!)

Save Money! Eat Top Notch Food!

                       Making your own yogurt my sound
                      a little ambitious, but it really isn't.

                      You only need two ingredients to make this possible.

       It almost sounds too good to be true, doesn't it ?

        Ingredients:

1 Quart of 2 % Milk
    3 tablespoons of plain yogurt
                      Note: A Candy Thermometer works great for
    determining the temperature of the milk..

                   To Create it:

   1. Place milk in a saucepan and cook to a temperature
                         of 180 degree's F,Stirring to prevent scorching.
                     2. Cook for 5-7 minutes.
   3. Cool to 115 degree's F.
   4. Now, add the 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt and stir
   until well blended.
   5. Now, Pour milk mixture into a small 2 quart crock
   place on a low temperature setting..Leave alone
                         and allow to cook for 4 hours.
   6. Now, turn crock pot off and allow yogurt to cool
                         for at least one hour.
                     7. There you are Plain Homemade Yogurt..Eat plain
                          or add your favorite fruit or gluten free crunchies.
                         Otherwise, place in your refrigerator and store for a
   later date.. Enjoy!

What makes this yogurt so good, is the fact that it
   is all natural. No fake sugar, no fake ingredients..

Remarkable, silky, fresh tasting and mild..Oh, not
to mention all the healthy probiotics going on in it!

It's time for baking.. Made this Apron for my 2 yr. Old Niece
