Cheesecake TIP

If you like to make cheesecake but don't have time to let the blocks of cream cheese sit out on the counter and come to room temperature I suggest this tip. Remove the cream cheese from the foil package and place the blocks in a Ziploc baggie. Seal the bag and "smoosh" the blocks around. The warm heat from your hands will bring the cream cheese up to room temp and allow for easy incorporation of the remaining ingredients.
