The Official "Parenting" Cheesecake Recipe

Parenting Book - How To Parent Together! Parenting book by parent / child relationship expert helps parents with discipline, step parenting & blended family issues.

Whoever writes all those fancy cookbooks has never been a parent. To begin with, the pages are never spill-proof, almost guaranteeing that somewhere in the middle of mixing ingredients, a spill will cover the remaining two ingredients listed. This means that parents must learn to improvise.

Some would suggest that the very thrill of cooking is experimentation. So what's the big difference between oregano and cayenne pepper, anyway?

Then there are all those "quick" recipes to "serve your family" gracing the pages of women's magazines. NO recipe is quick with Little Helper's assistance.

For the benefit of parents everywhere, I have taken my favorite cheesecake recipe and translated it into parentease. The non-parent version is available in Cooking By The Book -- a free bonus I offer with every purchase of The Get Happy Workbook at http://thehappyguy.com/happiness-workbook.html .

Parenting Agreements (Plans) Everything you need to know about Parenting Agreement/Plans includes a detailed fill-in Parenting Agreement.

Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake (Parent Version)

Mix one cup of ginger snap cookie crumbs and one tablespoon of olive oil. Add more cookie crumbs to make up for the ones that disappeared about the same time your Little Helper walked into the kitchen.

Positive Parenting. Developing discipline without yelling, spanking, nagging, or time-outs.

Press the crumby oil mixture ... "Sorry, Little Helper distracted me." Press the oily crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch spring-form pan, and up around the edges about one inch. Put it in the refrigerator to cool - best to slip it in safely behind the broccoli and that thing that's been turning blue for three weeks in case Little Helper gets inspired

Parenting eBook. 7 Secrets to Restoring Sanity in Your Parenthood.

Soften three bricks of cream cheese, ideally in the microwave. If you can't separate the cheese from Little Helper's hands, let her keep doing what she's doing until the cheese is good and soft. Cream the cheese with one and a half cups of pureed pumpkin, three large eggs, two tablespoons of cream, and one cup of brown sugar. Keep mixing until creamy.

Parenting Book. 1 resource for paernting skills.

Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract. If you are fortunate enough to have help at this stage, you have three options:

  1. Rename it " Harvest Pumpkin and Vanilla Cheesecake".

  2. Try scooping out the extra cup of vanilla Little Helper poured in for you.

  3. Start over.

You will also need to add a tablespoon of cinnamon. If Little Helper is in a generous mood, don't worry. You still have three options:

Better Behavior Wheel Parenting Tool. An upbeat, fun parenting tool for parents wishing to manage their behavior challenged kids.

  1. Rename it " Harvest Pumpkin and Cinnamon Cheesecake".

  2. Try scooping out the extra pile of cinnamon Little Helper poured in for you.

  3. Bang your head against the counter and start over.

There is also a tablespoon of ground ginger to add. Sorry about that. Don't worry, you still have three options...again:

  1. Rename it " Harvest Pumpkin and Ginger Cheesecake".

  2. Scoop out as best you can the extra heap of ginger Little Helper added for you.

    More Fun - Less Work Parenting Method. New curiosity based system dissolves power struggles, tantrums, whining. Turns kids into happy cooperative family team members.

  3. Bang your head twice on the counter and start over.

I almost hate to mention this, but you'll need to add a teaspoon of ground nutmeg. And a half teaspoon of salt. And a half teaspoon of allspice. Go ahead and bang your head some more if it makes you feel better.

Parenting Secrets By Mother Of Five. Raising Kids With Life Skills makes both parenting and growing up easier to do.

Fortunately, there is a parental failsafe. It is sort of like a "get out of jail free card". Look in the bowl. Observe the quantity of creamy things. Observe the quantity of spicy things.

Practical Parenting Advice. Free parenting advice and support on children's behaviour.

If the quantity of creamy things is even slightly greater than the quantity of spicy things, keep going and pretend you didn't have any help. Maybe nobody will notice. If the quantity of spicy things is greater than the quantity of creamy things, open another can of pureed pumpkin. Keep adding cans of pureed pumpkin until creamy things are greater than spicy things -- or until your grocer runs out of cans.

Pour the filling into the crust. Note, if you had to add too many cans of pureed pumpkin, this could get messy. I recommend hip-waders...especially for Little Helper.

Off Road Parenting: Book and DVD Offers a refreshing way for parents to deal with children ages 2 through the teens with difficult behavior problems. A unique approach to parenting.

Cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 50 minutes or until the top is slightly brown and almost as cracked as your head and the counter. Do NOT let Little Helper eat the cake while it is still in the oven.

Let it air cool in a safe place -- like at a neighbor's house -- then refrigerate overnight

Just before serving, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with pecans. Oops. I just wrote that last line in non-parentease. It should read: "Now that the whipped cream is polished off, shake the remaining sprinkles on the cake. Unless Little Helper ate them, too.

The Parenting Audio Tool Kit A must for parents, teachers, and child-care providers. Provides a helpful array of useful guidelines on how to raise children with well-developed social, cognitive, and emotional skills.

Now you can sit down and enjoy your Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake (Parent Version). Oh yes, don't forget to laminate this page to avoid more impromptu experimentation in the future.
