Huh-uh. No way... National Cheesecake Day? And why am I just now finding out there is such a day?! I don't know what has happened to me. I have not always had a sweet tooth, until I became pregnant with The Well-Fed Daughter. But I have always had a big weakness for cheesecake, and now those weaknesses seem magnified after experiencing pregnancy. Something about hormones, I guess. Dessert? No thank you, unless.... the options include any type of cheesecake, cookies 'n creme, chocolate/peanut butter, apples or strawberries. Those are the kinds of desserts I love, and not necessarily in that order.
But back to cheesecake!! While writing the MaFF Monday post, I decided it was definitely time to find out if there is a National Cheesecake Day. I mean, I knew from reading other blogs that there had been a National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day. While I would celebrate most food on any day, nothing comes close to a day set aside for celebrating cheesecake. And "lucky" for me, I found out that it is just days away. So I decided to see what's out there online for us cheesecake lovers:
101 Cheesecake Recipes at 101CheesecakeRecipes.com (I'm taking their word for it... unless you've got time to count them!) :)
300+ Cheesecake Recipes at AllRecipes.com
And finally, thousands (?!) of cheesecake recipes at BestCheesecakeRecipes.com, including Red Lobster's Cheesecake and two Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake recipes.
Just the picture of the cheesecake topped with fruit makes me want to explore that site, because my favorite ever cheesecake is one I ate at Saffron restaurant in Charleston, SC. It had a fruit and glaze topping. I used to work downtown very close to Saffron and would occasionally have a piece of that cheesecake for breakfast. YES, breakfast!!
What's your favorite type of cheesecake?
