Pumpkin & Pecan Pie Cheesecake (Thanksgiving Dessert 1)

Hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving with plenty of turkey and desserts. I'm still enjoying those holiday leftovers. Especially when it comes dessert. In my family pies, tarts, and cheesecakes are a must-have at the Thanksgiving dinner table. This year I got to put a cake in the mix for our birthday girl in the family which is always a plus. After a few hours of recipe books and internet surfing I finally made my picks. For our Thanksgiving dinner we had Pumpkin & Pecan Cheesecake, Apple Pie Tart, Owl Reese's Pieces Cake, and one sleepy baker.

Halloween Party Dip

October! Absolutely love this month! Well pretty much October on thru December. It is my pie, tart, and colorful scarf season and it is never long enough. This season is a busy one for me especially in October. Got 4 family birthdays and all in love with cake but the big one is the Halloween party right around the corner. Been asked to provide the "spooky" and fun sweets to be exact. So, a simple cake with some frosting slapped on isn't going to cut it. So safe to assume this month will be all about fun ideas for Halloween sweets.

First up, Pumpkin Pie Party Dip!
