It's the Great Pumpkin Cheesecake!!

Is it almost Thanksgiving already?? I should know because my kids are all ready for it. Planning the food and what kind of new dishes they want to try. I can't figure out why anything new should be done. I love the traditional and lots of it.
Right now Kellie is bothering me for my Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe. I gave her some websites to look at the noooo, "I want your recipe!!" Had to look a bit for it. Haven't made it in awhile, and since she wants to do the honors, I say go for it!!
Erin wants to try sweet potatoes this year. We're not a bunch that has them so better late than never I say. As long as the turkey is big enough and plenty of leftovers I'm good.
I promise to be here again soon. Have to check out my recipes and trying to get some pics on this site so it's not all in your mind. ;0)
