Hey guys! Yesterday was Thanksgiving as well as National Homemade Cake Day. I was planning on making a dessert for my family for Thanksgiving this year, so I decided to go the cake route (sort of) and make a cheesecake! Pumpkin and apple pies are classics that I usually make for Thanksgiving, but this year I wanted to try something different. This recipe is one of the easiest cheesecake recipes I’ve ever found, and it cooks way faster than most others!

This past Tuesday, November 17th, was National Homemade Bread Day. To celebrate, I baked my boyfriend’s mom’s recipe for banana chocolate chip bread. I considered baking a loaf of regular bread this week, but since I’ve done dessert recipes every other week I thought this week should be a sweet treat too. You can make loaves of bread or muffins from this recipe, but I chose to do loaves this time. Disclaimer: to make this bread, an arm workout will be required, so make sure you don’t plan to bake this bread on arm day. 😉

These cookies are incredibly easy to make (they only use 4 ingredients) and are a fun variation of classic chocolate chip cookies. 🙂

For this week’s bake, I decided to do a holiday favorite at my house (not for any upcoming holiday, I just really wanted these cookies). I baked my grandma’s molasses cookies recipe.

One small issue I forgot about was that the dough for these cookies was supposed to be chilled overnight, and I didn’t start making the dough until late last night. So, I baked the cookies today. 🙂
