Thanksgiving is Almost Here!
I’m taking a short break and not talking about my circus career this week, because Thanksgiving is this Thursday! I figured I would do a Thanksgiving related post. I’m very excited to be traveling to Orlando to spend time with my family and best friends.
If you know me, you know I like to workout every day and eat relatively healthy, but the holidays are a time of absolute weakness! My mom, sister, and I have a horrible sweet tooth, and we take advantage of the times we come together to try new dessert recipes. This year, though, everyone has been on a health kick. It all started because we were trying to look great for my wedding, but thankfully, everyone has stuck to a regular workout regimen. I don’t want to break our traditions, but I knew I could find a new dessert recipe that was a bit healthier, yet still delicious. I emphasize delicious because I did not want to make oatmeal-nut bars. I’m sure they would taste fine, but they seemed a bit too bland and boring for the occasion. I researched and came across this recipe for pumpkin cheesecake. I showed my mom and sister and they can’t wait to make it because it’s fall and “pumpkin flavor all the things!”
The recipe comes courtesy of Food Network Kitchen. They say it’a “lower-fat cheesecake that’s not low on flavor,” so I’m sure it’s going to be amazing! Here’s what it’ll look like when it’s done—hopefully!
You can find the recipe at the following link: Pumpkin Cheesecake. Let me know if you try to make it!
Hope everyone has a great holiday close to your loved ones.
