Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust - Again, pumpkin wins out as a favorite, especially when it sits on a spicy molasses cookie crust.
Cherry Cheesecake with Graham Cracker Crust - Another favorite cheesecake, this time with canned cherry pie filling, or make a fresh cherry compote for the topping. Either way, everyone will love it.
Christmas Cookies - It's never too early to eat Christmas Cookies. Platters of festive cookies are already making their way to schools, offices and next week, they'll show up on the Thanksgiving table as well. Make a variety and have fun decorating them with the kids.
