Are you a morning person or a night owl? 🌞🌚⁣
⁣
I’m a morning person. I love getting most of my work done early in the day so I can relax later on and go to bed early 👵🏻⁣
⁣
After the holiday weekend, I was craving my normal routine and today I finally feel like I’m back on track (took long enough!) I had eggs, avocado toast and coffee for breakfast. I only wish these cranberry orange scones were still around. The citrus glaze perks you up first thing in the morning. ⁣

PICK cornbread or dinner rolls at Thanksgiving?⁣
⁣
In the past my parents have always served dinner rolls at Thanksgiving dinner. However, I recipe tested cornbread this week and honestly I may start converting people.⁣
⁣
This cornbread is subtly sweet (read: not cake) with a tender crumb and light golden crust on top. It’s a pretty perfect vehicle to wipe up excess gravy on your plate 🍽 ⁣

We have 10+ inches of snow in Denver today and it’s still coming! ❄️⁣
⁣
I’m staying cozy inside and finishing up some loose ends on the blog before flying back to Connecticut tomorrow. While the snow may stop here, it’s supposed to be so windy in NYC they may not walk the balloons in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 🌬🍂🦃⁣
⁣
That’s all for my weather report today. Fingers crossed I make it to Connecticut tomorrow! What are your plans for Turkey Day?⁣

What’s your dessert plan for Thanksgiving? #ad This apple crisp is a go-to recipe of mine and I love it because you can make it ahead of time and reheat in the oven when it’s time to serve ❤️⁣
⁣
I like using the 8x8 baking dish by @elloproducts because it comes with an airtight and leak-proof kid, which is perfect to keep the crisp fresh (plus it’s BPA-free and dishwasher safe 🙌🏼)⁣

What makes a snickerdoodle a snickerdoodle? ⁣
Well, it’s basically a sugar cookie with cinnamon inside and out. There’s also cream of tartar, which adds a bit of tangy taste to complement the sweetness. When baked these cookie get their signature crackle top.⁣

Now do I have the ultimate fall dessert for you—pumpkin cheesecake with gingersnap crust⁣
⁣
I love pumpkin spice as much as the next girl, but what really made my tastebuds sing was this gingersnap crust. @staufferscookies ginger snaps are made with real ginger and molasses (read: no artificial flavors or colors or high fructose corn syrup) All natural flavor right here to complement the rich, creamy pumpkin cheesecake.⁣
⁣
If you’re in the mood for a real fall dessert, bake this pumpkin cheesecake. You can find @staufferscookies at Big Lots, HEB and Wegmans. Full recipe below⁣ ⁣
INGREDIENTS⁣
GINGER SNAP CRUST⁣
• 28 @Staufferscookies ginger snaps, crushed into fine crumbs⁣
• 1/4 c flour⁣
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger⁣
• 2 Tbs brown sugar⁣
• 1/4 c butter, melted⁣
PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE FILLING⁣
• 3 c cream cheese, room temp⁣
• 1 3/4 c sugar⁣
• 1 tsp cinnamon⁣
• 1/2 tsp ginger⁣
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg⁣
• 1/4 c flour⁣
• 1 tsp vanilla⁣
• 1 c pumpkin purée⁣
• 5 eggs, room temp⁣
• 1/2 c sour cream, room temp⁣
⁣
INSTRUCTIONS⁣
1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line the bottom of a 10″ round springform pan with parchment paper. Grease the bottom and sides of the pan.⁣
GINGER SNAP CRUST⁣
1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine all of the ingredients and pulse until evenly mixed, about 1 minute. Press mixture into the springform pan making sure the sides are at least 1-inch high.⁣
2. Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 300° F.⁣
PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE⁣
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese on low speed for 2 minutes.⁣
2. Add the sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Mix for 2 more minutes. Halfway through, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.⁣
3. Add the vanilla and pumpkin. Mix to combine, about 20 seconds. One at a time add the eggs, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream just until combined.⁣
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan/crust and bake for 60 minutes. The cake is finished when the sides are set, but the center 2 inches of the cake is still a bit wobbly. Turn off the oven, prop open the door, and allow the cake to slowly cool in the oven for one hour. Then remove cake from the oven, cover it and chill for 4+ hours
