Pumpkin Cheesecake

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/pumpkin-cheesecake-recipe/index.html

So, I'm thinking that this will be an unusual Thanksgiving. The kids and I have been tossing around the idea of Pumpkin Cheesecake instead of the traditional Pumpkin Pie. Of course, this means that I have to look up MORE recipes... oh, darn! LOL!

As always, I would really love to hear from anybody that tries one of the recipes from my blog! Please let me know what you think!
Thanks,
