Raspberry Lemonade Cheesecake






     I prefer to have my Lemonade in a Cheesecake, not from a kid manned stand in the front yard!  Even so, Lemonade holds a special place in my heart sending me straight back to my youth.  The handmade cardboard sign in the front yard reading, 15, 25 or 35 cents leaning against our card table topped with Kool-aid pitcher and 3 size of glasses.  We would sit out there all day and be lucky to clear a dollar, but we didn't care, it was great fun (not to mention we drank all the profits)! :0  Do you remember pouring a full CUP of sugar into that Kool-aid pitcher when you were a kid!?  Man that stuff was good, and now I understand why ... we were drinking SYRUP!!!  HA  All good things must end, ... or at least be modified.  I hope you will take a minute and think about your youth as you sink your teeth into this memory filled healthy dessert.  The best part is for an 8th of the Cheesecake it is only 181 calories, 10g net carbs and 16g protein (this does not cover the Raspberries or Cool Whip garnish).  Maybe being an adult is not so bad after all ;)
