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.

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

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.

This cheesecake is so rich you don’t need any topping but I decided to top a slice with some homemade Fig Preserves I made over the summer. Yummy!

  21. Wow! I’ve always know that Corelle is durable; but the Cherish pattern is really attractive, as well. From the pattern names mentioned in posts above, it seems like new Corelle patterns would be worth checking out – especially with two semi-destructive teenage boys in the house.

  25. I like the Pure White square ones. I love Corelle dishes. I have two Corelle bowls, and they’re so light and easy to wash, also been dropped and didn’t break!
