Brownie Turtle Cheesecake
"This recipe is from the magazine put out by our electric co-op. The brownie crust is unique and so tasty. This is supposed to cool over night, but I always get impatient and just throw it in the freezer for an hour or so."

My name is Sarah and I'm a student at the University of Cincinnati. I'm studying biology, but only because I figure it's easier for a biologist to go back to school to become a chef than it is for a chef to go back to school to become a biologist. At least once a month, though, I fantasize about packing up everything I own and heading off to culinary school.
