Recipe time

Elizabeth had a birthday potluck happening last night, and I supplied the cheesecake. It was tasty and the potluck was fun!

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Based on CookingNook's recipe but scaled up for a bigger pan (I don't own a 9" springform, and we weren't totally sure how many guests we'd have and how hungry they'd be) and tweaked a bit.

Lately I've had a few rave reviews of this zucchini spread, which also conveniently uses about two cups of zucchini per recipe (the same quantity as our zucchini loaf recipe requires, so Elizabeth freezes two-cup bags of shredded zucchini, spreading the zucchini joy throughout the winter).

Zucchini toast topping

The basic recipe was passed on to us by Amanda from my high school class. I've written in the tweaks I used last, but the recipe is very flexible.
