Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

Well, today is almost over, but it's not too late to announce that today is National Cheesecake Day! How could I have missed that? Cheesecake is my favorite dessert, hands down.

I came across this website that is celebrating National Cheesecake Day with 65+ cheesecake recipes. The recipe she shares is one that sounds super simple, and yummie! Check it out!

(This is all PO's fault - she showcased one of this lady's cakes on her Cake thread, and I have to keep going back to this site to check out this lady's recipes and then discovered that today is National Cheesecake Day!)

Anyway - thought I would ask - what is your favorite cheesecake? Feel free to share a recipe if you have one!

My favorite cheesecake is the New York style strawberry or cherry cheesecake. I found a recipe for it here: http://urbanbakes.com/new-york-style-cheesecake/

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

I am going to try the pumpkin this fall. :thumbsup

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

Yum, yes!
That nutella one....you know I have never
tasted that stuff....is it a chocolate flavor
with nuts?

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

It's hazelnut. I made some cakeballs using Nutella and it was great! Lots of work, but worth it for a party.

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

BTW, I probably shouldn't tell you this, but I made some Mexican Wedding Cookies for a baby shower, just recently. I bit into one and a strand of my HAIR was in one! OH MY GOSH!!! I always make sure my hair is tied up when I bake, brush off my clothing and apron - but this little strand of hair refused to leave.

I shouted - There is HAIR in this cookie! All the ladies dropped their plates and punch was all over the FLOOR!

Okay, that didn't really happen. But, it could have!!!! :toofunny

What really happened - I gently put my napkin to my mouth, put the cookie in the napkin and placed it in the trash. I silently prayed it was the only strand of hair found. :heeheehee

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

:heeheehee I hope it was the only hairy cookie in the bunch!

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

I didn't hear of any more. So, I guess not. :heeheehee

BTW, I didn't host the party, just helped. The host made cupcakes and everyone ate my almond sugar cookies and the wedding cookies. Only one cupcake was eaten. I felt really bad for her. I had no idea that would happen. But it's good to note what people really want.

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

Okay, last one and I have made this - it is excellent! Very elegant dessert.

PO!!!!!! What a way to start the morning with all those delicious cheesecakes! I have never made a blueberry cheesecake, and think I would like to try it. Your recipe for the blueberry cheesecake looks awesome! I will probably print it out, and look at it and drool... lol! We have a local blueberry farm that I plan on visiting, and picking some blueberries to freeze for the winter. Maybe I'll get to try this recipe with those fresh blueberries.

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

BACON is banned from this thread... :girlytantrum

LOL... :heeheehee

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

That was a great laugh to go along with my morning coffee, PO!

I don't know of any cook who hasn't had that problem at one time or another! LOL

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

Stop it im trying to work im glad im not fasting today or i would of fell from grace :o

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

Yes, that looks good too!

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

Bacon cheesecake! No thanks I'll stick with the chocolate chip cheesecake my wife and daughter have made so many times. Is today national leftover cheesecake day?

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

I hereby diagnose you with baconitis, and from all symptoms listed, it appears to be an uncurable, and perhaps even deadly disease. :heeheehee

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

You need to get your information from more of an unbiased source , lol!

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

I'm serious, you would be surprised to find out that white flour is your enemy and wheat of any color, more than the sweet juicy bacon strip.

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

Then you need to investigate corn, which is the main food pigs are fed...

http://www.wellfedhomestead.com/how-...igs-and-people

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

We buy our flour from an organic, natural food source, and it is whole wheat, ground fresh, and we buy it straight from the farmer. I make sure any bread we buy has no high fructose corn syrup in it. That is about the best that we can do at this time. Wiping bread out of our diet is not really an option, so we are doing the next best thing that we can do, short of growing the wheat, and grinding it up ourselves...

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

You need to look up what the proteins of gliadin gluten do to you.

In 1953 our wheat's proteins of gliadin (gluten) was modified so our baked goods would rise better, and the consistency of the product would be fluffier. Yet, while it did make a better finished product the proteins of gliadin became mutated to a point where our bodies don't digest them properly. In fact they wreak havoc in your body causes a host of different issues.

So, you can buy organic, you can grind it to the finest powder, and you will still end up with a the final product that will make any research you find about bacon look tame.

Bon appetit! :heeheehee

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

Corn is in a whole lot more products than gluten or wheat. Corn is in almost every product consumed. I will look into the gliadin or gluten that you mention. I do know that gluten is a problem, and many people have gone gluten-free. But that still doesn't negate the fact that corn products are in just about everything we eat too, and corn has been genetically modified as well.

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

Corn is garbage, (as well as SOY) because it has been as you have said genetically modified. http://seedsofdeception.com/

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

Soo.... corn is bad for you, soy is bad for you, wheat is bad for you, and pork is bad for you. What are you going to eat?

Re: Today is National Cheesecake Day!
 

Like we have been saying in these threads, just have to really know your sources, and do the homework to make the right choice. I'm not talking about long life, but quality of life. I have been vegan, vegetarian, Paleo, and just went through all the journey to find what was right for me. Your body is the best barometer when it comes to this subject, and you have to listen to your body.

A lot of issues we have we really don't know we have them because we grow use to feeling the way we do. Not until we have a lifestyle change do we come to realize that our food and lifestyle never made us feel our best, because we never knew what it was like to feel our best.

Please do the research, and give yourself time to see what works for you.

Come on we are smarter than God, he did not know what he was doing when he created natural grains. We wiser humans can surely do better than him.
We will keep on "improving" our food supply :nutso
