How to Make
Buttery Garlic Green Beans

1. Place green beans into a large skillet and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans start to soften, about 5 minutes. Drain water. Add butter to green beans; cook and stir until butter is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Cook and stir in garlic with green beans until garlic is tender and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with lemon pepper and salt.

Note

For a different taste I substitute the lemon pepper and salt with 1 to 2 Tbsp of Oyster Sauce.

How to Make
Cheesecake

1. In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, sugar and cinnamon; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom and 2 in. up the sides of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Bake at 350° for 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce heat to 325°.
2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add egg yolks; beat on low just until blended.
3. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; fold into cream cheese mixture. Pour over the crust.
4. Bake for 1 hour or until the center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate until completely cooled.
5. Combine the sour cream, sugar and vanilla; fold in whipped cream. Spread over cheesecake. Refrigerate overnight. Remove sides of pan.
6. Cut up fresh berries to serve with the cheesecake. I usually go with strawberries and blueberries but any fresh berries are great.

Note

I do not put the berries on top of the cheesecake, instead, I serve them on the side so people can choose the type of berry and quantity. If you put the berries on top you run the risk of the cheesecake getting wet from the berry juice and looking a mess. It is okay if you are planning on eating the entire cake in one sitting but it is a large cake.
