thanksgiving weekend
Every year, as my contribution to Thanksgiving dinner, I make my specialty cheesecakes. It's not like I have a choice in the matter. I'm always told, "This is what you're bringing and nothing else." Good thing Thanksgiving only comes once a year (unless you celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving followed by the American Thanksgiving holiday)! These cheesecakes are not overly sweet (I've reduced the amount of sugar in my recipes) and I try to use ingredients with 'less fat'...but hey, this is cheesecake, so either way, diabetics beware!
Things I'm thankful for this holiday weekend:
-spending time with family and friends
-my little brother coming up to the Island to be with us :) I love that kid!!!
-deer grazing in our frontyard
-my wonderful husband
-gorgeous sunsets
-living on such a beautiful island

City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog “Headlines On Things That Matter” and commenting.
Those cheesecakes look great. Did you post the recipes? I make them also but not as fancy … yes I cook too. Yes, I also reduce the amount of sugar and cream cheese to give it the more German/European flavor and no sour cream.
I am wondering if you have any problems getting the berries during November?
Happy Holidays

Hi Providian! I have no problems with the berries in November, as I pick the berries from our garden in the summer, put them in plastic baggies, and pop them into the freezer for the winter time! :) I had more berries than I could pick this season, so one of our freezers has nothing but produce from my garden!
I'll post the recipes soon!
those raspberries are HUGE!
Awww... That's too sweet of you... how would I know you'll go the extra mile for the lucky few whom you love. Happy thanksgiving!
I really hope you saved me a piece.
;p Stephen, I saved a piece for you and E. When are you coming to get it? :)
You are amazing Ms. Christine!
Awww...thanks, Ms. Mamma! Right back at ya! ;)
