Last week I expanded my horizons from cupcakes to a cheesecake. Pumpkin-Pecan Cheesecake, to be exact. We subscribe to the Southern Living magazine, and when I saw a picture of this cake on the front of this month's issue, I knew I would have to make it. And, yes, this is actually a picture of the one I made! The cheesecake itself had some rather large cracks on the surface, but you cover the whole thing in this yummy praline, so nobody will ever know...well, now you know I guess, but nobody else knows!
My main note here would be to plan ahead- this recipe is NOT HARD. But it is time-consuming, so make sure you read the entire recipe, gather all the ingredients, and set aside a large block of time for cooking, as well as 8-24 hours for chilling. I can tell you with great confidence that it is worth the time to make this dessert. So yummy!
I'm just going to post a link to the main recipe here: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-pecan-cheesecake-50400000117060/. I would definitely advise you to try this one out, especially if you are heading to any kind of a fall or Thanksgiving social gathering. It's fairly easy, quite lovely, and downright delicious.
In other news, that college application that I supposedly sent in two weeks ago isn't entirely submitted yet after all. There was a mix-up with one of my "family friend references" and the poor lady never received the reference to her email, so long story short, it's going to be a couple more weeks before I hear back from Appalachian Bible College. Yuck. I hate waiting! But hopefully it won't be too long...
In the meantime, I'm looking forward to Jordan's fall break this weekend! Mom is heading up to Patrick Henry tomorrow to bring her home and she'll stay until Tuesday. Hooray!
