Vanilla Bean Cheesecake
Vanilla Bean Cheesecake recipe is on the menu for week one of our Progressive Dinners Blog Hop.
So what is a Progressive Dinner you might be asking?
Well for 7 weeks I and four other of my favorite food bloggers will each be sharing a course for a holiday dinner in a roundup-style post.
Each week each blogger will be sharing one course so there will be an entire holiday meal worth of recipes shared weekly.
By the end of the seven weeks, each of us will have shared the Main course, 2 side dish recipes, an appetizer, a dessert recipe, and a potluck or gift from the kitchen recipe.
Below you will find the schedule of the recipes I will be sharing for each week and what giveaway will be available.

Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with a Fig PreservesTopping
Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts. There is something about a thick dense piece of New York style cheesecake that makes me dance with delight.
A few months ago I made a Key Lime Cheesecake
Key Lime Cheesecake
It was delicious but while I was making it I thought to myself I have got to make this cheesecake recipe with vanilla beans as the flavoring. It's funny how recipe inspiration can hit you while you are making one recipe and you end up with two great recipes to add to your collection.
