Pumpkin Cheese Cake

Yes I know, it’s a bit late in the season, but I don’t worry about that. I get pumpkin cravings and well, this is one of the results.

This recipe comes from OrganicPedic. I swapped out the organic elements because I don’t usually shop that way. But I suspect it’s pretty darn near the same.

I found it to be an excellent recipe and we ate every bit of it.

And it’s quite easy to make as well.
