Foodie Friday: Have Your Cheesecake And Bake It, Too!

As I searched for Foodie Friday inspiration, I ran across an unread email from The Cheesecake Factory. Inside it announced that July 30th is National Cheesecake Day. Who knew that this was yet another holiday?  I am not going to complain, as I love it. Most of all, I love to make them. But in case you are not a baker, and you live near a Cheesecake Factory restaurant, you can get a slice for half price this Wednesday.  Sweet!
