I think this makes me my 100th discussion I have started. Didn't even think of it until I noticed someone else mention making it that far.
Anyway...there are always little cookbooks at the checkout lanes at the grocery stores around here and I used to buy them everytime new ones came out. One of them was for cheesecake recipes. I loved that cookbook. But it got left behind when I had to move one time and I lost most of my belongings. I really miss that cookbook.
What kinds of cheesecake do you all like? My favorite is cherry cheesecake, but I have had some of those mixed flavor kinds like pumpkin. That was good. Chocolate cheesecake is good too. I have had regular cheesecake just like cherry but instead of cherries it had crushed pineapple on top. That was really good too.
What is your favorite kind? Do you make your own? Where do you find your recipes?

I absolutely love cheesecake! I've tried pumpkin, not a big fan of it but it was good. I've tried cherry and strawberry, strawberry being my favorite of the two. I've yet to try chocolate, which I am very hesitant to try since it costs so much. I buy mine already made at a local deli they are good but very expensive!
I failed twice at making homemade ones so I buy mine. I
never even heard of pineapple on them and am going to have to try that for sure!

I really like cheesecake too. They used to have one at The Olive Garden that I really loved, black tie cheesecake, with chocolate, yum! I like it with strawberries and cherries too. Peach is ok too. Most of the recipes that I find these days are at different websites though if I see a good-looking cookbook that I can afford, well, gotta have it!!
