=**Karissa's Cravings :)**= My name is Karissa. Im in 11th grade. I took Mrs. Byer's Family Consumer Science class this year. I took this class because I wanted to learn how to cook different foods. I picked fabulous fudge cheesecake as my recipe because I love cheesecake a passion and chocolate. I think it'd be interesting to make.
