Thanksgiving is right around the corner!  Are you so excited?  I am. I just love Thanksgiving. All the food and a day to completely relax with family. I really don’t think there is anything better than that. So, I have had a little fun whipping up some recipes for you to take to your feast.

This particular cheesecake started out as an idea to combine pecan pie and pumpkin pie into a cheesecake, but it slowly morphed into no pecans and a little caramelizing.
