As I was going around few stores yesterday, running errands and picking up supplies, I realized that the season is starting sneak up on all of us just a little bit faster each year.Place after place surprised me with fall displays and mountains of pumpkins. It does seems a bit early – it is only mid September – but the way time flies these days, it will be here before we know it. So – here is one of my favourite cheesecake recipes. The difference in this one is the use of crystallized ginger – it gives the cheesecake a little different flavour and I think you will love it!
