Pumpkin Cheesecake

We hosted a dinner party over the weekend and I cooked a fall themed meal. I did not want it to be too much like Thanksgiving so I just had bits and pieces of fall: chicken bake, steamed squash and zucchini, salad, rolls, roasted potatoes, and for dessert... Pumpkin Cheesecake. I didn't want to make pumpkin pie as that screams Thanksgiving, so I thought this was a nice median.


I found a recipe on my new favorite website Gina's Skinny Recipes. I happened upon this website a few weeks ago, and awesomely enough one of my loyal followers also pointed me there for a stuffed artichoke recipe, thanks Sophie!


I LOVE this website as it has everything you can imagine made low cal, low fat, and she lists the Weight Watchers points! The pie turned out delicious and my husband even finished it off after our guests left... OK, so there was only 1 piece left at that point. :o)
