DeleteYou know I love all of these desserts! Ironically, desserts are my favorite part of the Thanksgiving menu to prepare and serve. I have often wondered is that is because I actually prefer sweets or if it is more because they mark the time in the meal when I actually get to sit down, drink coffee and chat with my family. I don't mind, at that point, that the dishes are waiting in the kitchen. By dessert, I know my family has been well fed and it is time for me to sit back, relax and just plain enjoy! Thank you for featuring these awesome dessert recipes!
