Strawberry Mini Cheescakes

Hi Zesty Readers:

I would first like to thank Cory for giving me this opportunity to do a guest post, I’m Pam from A Love for New Recipes.   I love Cory’s blog, it is so fun and the topics are always amusing and informative.   One question though….”how does he eat all those desserts and stay so thin?”, must be the Canadian in him….lol!

Blogging has been such an inspiration to me to live my life better from a food standpoint, now I have always been into healthier things, but sometimes you just get off track.  The biggest thing I remember is “it’s about the journey, not the beginning or end results that matter the most” and I love how it brings people together.
