Happy National Cheesecake Day!

by Bob Sassone, Posted Jul 30th 2007 @ 7:01AM

There was a time -- when I was a kid -- that I hated cheesecake. And I think I hated it either without tasting it at all or maybe tasting it once and not liking it. I guess it was just that my taste buds weren't fully mature yet (if such a thing happens) and I thought "cheese? In cake? Gah!" But I love it now, to the point I can't have just once slice, I'll eat it until I get that "so good I'm getting sick" feeling.

Today is National Cheesecake Day. Here's a ton of recipes from RecipeGal, including 3 Step Cheesecake, 7-Up Lemon Cheesecake with Strawberry Glaze, Carrot 'N Raisin Cheesecake, Chocolate Cheesecake, and Orange Chip Cheesecake (you might have to refresh some of those pages to make the recipes appear).

If you don't want to make one, why not order one from Eli's (Oprah loves them) or The Cheesecake Factory?

I was just discussing the virtues of cheesecake with a friend yesterday when he asked for a triple layer cheesecake (which of course they didn't have) at a chain restaurant...coincidence? or just time for a cheesecake binge? maybe it is on the list....thanks for the post and update about Cheesecake Day!
