Here is the Simply Recipes update for cookingwithmumu@gmail.com There are 2 new posts in "Simply Recipes" Pumpkin CheesecakeThis is a righteous pumpkin cheesecake. (Hmm, now that I think about it, what does that mean? I have visions of Alvin the Chipmunk taking a bite of this cake and squeeking "Righteous!") It's tall, it's proud, it's creamy. It loves being bathed in caramel sauce and whipped cream. It's what happens when a New York cheesecake decides to dress up for Halloween. For years my mother has been asking me to make a cheesecake for her (she is a "cake girl" and cheesecake her favorite cake), and for years I've declined (until now), because the whole process just seemed too complicated.

You will not be disappointed (at least I hope you won't). If you fall in the "uh, maybe not, no, no thank you" camp, if there is one recipe that could possibly change your mind, this is it. We have made it 4 times in the last 2 weeks and will likely find its way to our Thanksgiving table this year. So, if you're on the fence, give it a shot! Continue reading "Turnip Gratin" » | ||||
