Pumpkin and apple season is almost upon us. Last Thanksgiving, I cooked, baked, and bought a few pre-made dishes since I was feeling a bit uninspired.  I don’t eat turkey so Thanksgiving is a day of carbs for me. This wasn’t the year I baked a pie but I did make these mini pumpkin cheesecakes and they were delicious. I love pumpkin but am not really a pumpkin pie person, but cheesecake? That’s a favorite. Here’s my mini pumpkin cheesecake recipe. And here are some of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes.
