National Cheesecake Day- July 30th

Sunday celebrates National Cheesecake day, as if we needed a holiday to celebrate the greatness of cheesecake. I enjoy cheesecake. It's my favorite kind of cake. It's in the top 3 of my favorite desserts along with key lime pie and an ice cream sundae with sprinkles. If it was not taboo, I would have it as my birthday cake of choice instead of the more traditional selections. That beautiful mixture of soft cheese, cream cheese, eggs, and sugar on a graham cracker crust is a taste of heaven! Cheesecake is a major dessert fixture at our Thanksgiving table. The dessert comes in many flavors as well including strawberry, pumpkin, and blueberry to name a few. If you might be wondering who started this cheesecake craze we possibly can look to the Greeks as the ones responsible. It has been found that the earliest attested mention of a cheesecake is by Greek physician Aegimus, who wrote a book on the art of making cheesecakes. From those ancient beginnings we fast forward to 1912 when James Kraft developed a form of pasteurized cream cheese, a major ingredient found in most cheesecakes today. By 1928 Kraft trademarked and marketed his Philadelphia Cream Cheese and made a lot of people very happy, including me. North America has several different styles of cheesecakes: New York-style cheesecake Pennsylvania Dutch-style cheesecake Philadelphia-style Farmer cheese cheesecake To celebrate this holiday The Cheesecake factory is offering a half-price sale Sunday on all their cheesecakes, yum. Don't miss out! P.S. The photo is the Cheesecake Factory's Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake. DB Source- National Cheesecake Calendar/Zandesk.com Photo- Cheesecake Factory.com

@Nawsheen Good for you. We all need our treats sometimes. Save a fork and a slice for me.

I also like the cheesecake, that I make at home because this is not exactly a "Swiss specialty", so you can find it nowhere. My favorite cheesecake is the one that does not need to be cooked in the oven.

We have a holiday in Judaism where we eat cheescake and I love it. I have never made my own but I like to buy a certain kind. I think I have some still left over in the freezer. That is nice that you have it half price. We have it for when our Torah was given to Moses on Mt. Sinai and it is also a harvest holiday.

@dgobucks226 The food we eat is cheesecake but it isn't National Cheesecake day. It is something else.

It is ludicrous to suggest otherwise! What an unconscionable thought?

I like the taste of cheesecake but can only eat a tiny slice once in a while, hard to digest for me.

That photo just made me weep a little...I love strawberry cheesecake and that was my cake on my 38th birthday. DB, I hope if you had a slice that you had a slice for me too.
