One of the things I love the most about Fall is anything pumpkin! There is just something about the flavor of pumpkin that just screams Fall. So, I feel like I should share, with you, a recipe I found on Facebook. :-)

I made a few changes to make it a little simpler but you know that if you mix pumpkin and cheesecake, you can't go wrong. It's gonna be GOOD!!!:-)
