Lemon-Poppy Seed Cheesecake

[Guest guest]

I made this a couple wks ago, it was good, not too sweet, but - it was a lovely

(lol) gray color from the poppy seeds (I used a blender, thinking that wouldn't

smash up the poppy seeds as much, but I think it did). If you don't mind less

nutritional value, you could stir in the poppy seeds as the final step before

filling the crust.

other food on the nutrition charts. When you eat this estrogen-rich
