So I guess you could say I’m a little untraditional, in the sense that I don’t really like to eat pie at Thanksgiving time. I don’t know what it is, but pie just does not appeal to me as much as other desserts. I’ll eat it just out of the sake of tradition, but I really would much rather eat something like cheesecake. So I decided to come up with an alternative Thanksgiving dessert for all those non pie lovers like me. I love cheesecake…That is one thing I know for sure. So I decided to give this Pumpkin cheesecake recipe a try. ( I found the recipe on All Recipes).
