Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I made a pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving. It turned out delicious! The whole pie was devoured today at Thanksgiving dinner with Nick's family. I managed to get one piece to bring home and I decided to take a picture. I got the recipe online and it's supposed to be the Cheesecake Factory's recipe. You really have to try this. It was really easy to make too. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

1 1/2 cups graham crumbs

1 cup canned pumpkin
3 eggs

Bake for 60-70 min. or till the top turns a bit darker. Remove from oven and allow to come to room temperature, then refrigerate. After it has thoroughly chilled, remove the pan sides and cut.
