Happy Monday everybody!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and that you all have since recovered from your food hangovers. I know my pants are a little snug this morning (real pants anyway, we all know stretchy pants are the only acceptable pants around Thanksgiving), so let the extra cardio sessions begin. Anyways, gingerbread season is now upon us and y’all will all be seeing lots of gingerbread things around these parts for the next few weeks, so I apologize in advance. I did want to share a favorite gingerbread recipe from a couple of years ago that I just loved. These were so fun and a real hit at a few parties I took these to. I hope you get to enjoy these soon! Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by!
Happy Wednesday y’all!!! So I have a question…can we please either move Thanksgiving back a few weeks or push Christmas to January or something? because seriously it’s like all the holidays jumble together and then it’s all over and I’m super sad to put my Christmas decorations up (yes, I believe it’s not good to start the New Year with your decorations up).
It’s like month after month of totally awesome food related holidays and then nada for a while. Are y’all with me on this? because I seriously can’t be the only one who thinks this would be a good idea…Anyways, to hold onto Christmas just ooonnee more day I thought I would bring y’all these mini gingerbread cheesecakes.
Honestly these are the perfect mixture of gingerbread and cheesecake, incredibly decadent for sure, especially with the added bonus of the perfectly light and fluffy cinnamon whipped cream on top, yum, yum, yummy y’all.
These are a cinch to make and if y’alls collapse in the middle like mine always do, then that can be covered by the whipped cream hehe, enjoy!!!
