Being a healthy eater requires you to become both educated and smart about what healthy eating actually is.  Being food smart isn't about learning to calculate grams or fat, or is it about studying labels and counting calories.

Two recipes so close together... I couldn't resist  telling you about this though - I made it on Tuesday. I have to say it is not really cheesecake more like a pie, but it was super easy to make! Comments: OMG it was good!  I even got The Big D to try it, he even knew it had tofu in it :) I did have a couple of issues making it - one was my fault :) So you definitely need a food processor or blender to mix the cream cheese and tofu, mine still had some small lumps.
