Mmmm, Pumpkin Cheesecake with no guilt! Baby loves it!  Jon trying to make sure to eat it all quickly before brother asks for some.  lol! I found a recipe online that was changed up from a regular pumpkin cheesecake recipe.  I did a little changing of my own as you'll soon see.  This recipe was fabulous!  I would definitely use less butter for the crust next time but that's the only thing I'd change up other than the changes I've already made that you see below.  I hope you enjoy this as much as we do.  It's fabulous!

It still takes unbleached flour instead of whole wheat but other than that, it's a lot more healthy than most cakes. Keep in mind, this is not meant to be really sweet. It does however satisfy my sweet tooth. This was my first time converting a cake recipe over to partial honey as an ingredient. I'm very excited with the texture and flavor. Yeah!

I'm feeling a bit under the weather today. Sore throat, tired, runny nose - yeah a cold. I wanted something yummy, soothing and healthy at the same time. I found this wonderful recipe on My Years Without Sugar . In it she had a lovely recipe that I will post below. In the future, I would add a bit more honey and a bit less cacao. I also used 1/3 cup coconut milk (thai canned coconut milk) and 2/3 cup boiling water. Another thing to mention is coconut milk, raw honey and cacao are all so healthy for you and touted as superfoods. Drink up to health and tasty goodness! Coconut Milk Hot Chocolate 1/3 cup coconut milk 2/3 cup boiling water 2 heaping spoons of pure cocoa 1 small spoonfull honey (or more for sweeter) dash of vanilla To my french press I added the coconut milk then stirred in cocoa and vanilla. After pouring in the boiling water, I stirred in the honey and then pumped my French press to mix and make it frothy.
