National Commemorative Days!

 National Cheesecake Day! Thursday!
🥮 nothing like cake. Indeed, its creamy, thick pudding-like character comes from the soft cheese used as the main ingredient.

Graham cracker crust is one of the most common crusts.
Other options include a cookie crust, pastry or sponge cake.🥐 Some are crustless, which is also known as Basque cheesecake. 🍴
Some are baked, some are not ♨️ do come in a wide variety, If you prefer summer fruits and berries, tropical options hit the spot, too. 🍍
For coffee lovers, bakers provide a rich selection. And don't forget delicious chocolate and nutty flavors.
Cheesecake may be served with fresh fruit, a sauce, whipped cream or plain.🥣
Do you make your own cheesecake?
Craving 😋 Celebrate cheesecake day!

Txtoast :
I made little individual cheesecake bites one time and they were a huge hit!

Although early forms of cheesecake date back to ancient Greece, cream cheese didn't enter American dessert recipes until around the 1820s. Following the advent of pasteurization, William A. Lawrence, a dairy farmer from Chester, New York, purchased a Neufchâtel factory and introduced the first mass-produced cream cheese in 1873. 🥛🧀

Txtoast: I love Cheesecake, plain or with a topping. ❤️

🥑 Avocados are a staple food in the American diet.
Proven to be a key ingredient in recipes for both inside the body and on the body!
While guacamole is grand, it's not just for chips and dip.🫕 
A whooping 4.25 billion avocados were sold in the U.S. in 2015.
We are so close to Mexico that grows the Hass Avocado
I've a friend in Pearland that has an avocado in his yard, that
he started from a graft bought at a church sale. 🌱
🔸Avocados target insulin resistance with heart-healthy fats.
🔹and a source of Vitamins C, E and K.
Also avocado has a high oleic acid content, a moisturizing fatty acid that helps keep skin soft and hydrated.
