I baked a Pumpkin Cheesecake



While perusing the food blogs 1 day, I came across a pumpkin cheesecake recipe. And since my girlfriends were coming here for dinner the other night, I thought why not try out this cake! Well after I assembled the ingredients and put the cake in the oven, I tasted the batter before washing the bowl. MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!! The recipe called for only 1/4 cup of sugar. THE BATTER WAS NOT SWEET ENOUGH! I looked up my favorite regular cheesecake recipe and that recipe called for 1 cup of sugar. Oh well, now what was I going to do? 2 pounds of cream cheese to the total of $12 in just the cheese alone - I decided to make caramel sauce for the side. CHARM! My dessert turned out perfect! Everyone ate their slice, loved the caramel sauce and brought home a slice for their husbands. SUCCESS!

On another note - we had NOT 1 TRICK OR TREATER this Halloween. We're living here 17 years and no kids up the block! Must be the rain that scared the kids away. Good thing I didn't buy any candy - I was going to give out pretzels.

Well now onto Thanksgiving!
