Wordless Wednesday: Dessert…mmmmmmmm!

November 30, 2011 By Brian 24 Comments

No Thanksgiving dinner is complete without dessert.  This year, we cooked up three beauties.  The pumpkin pie and pumpkin cheesecake were made with fresh pumpkin that we prepared ourselves (no cans here, folks!).

The cherry pie was a little too simple.  Store bought pie crust with canned cherry pie filling.  I had to do something to dress it up a bit.  After putting the lattice on, I cut out a few leaf shapes with the remaining pie dough and balled up a few pieces and smashed them flat to make a pretty little decoration.  It looked (and felt) just a little more homemade for the big day.

All of the desserts were tasty and a perfect ending to a great meal.

Leave us a comment about your favorite desserts for Thanksgiving and let us know where your Wordless Wednesday is so that we can come say hi!

    MMM! That cheesecake looks so good (recipe??)! I made the turkey this year so didn’t do pie, my sister’s oven quit so my step-dad brought Amish pies that he bought from a local family. They were good, a bit too sweet but the crust was yummy. I can’t wait to make cheesecake for Christmas!

      The recipe is Paula Dean’s! It’s the first that comes up when doing a Google search, but there’s a reason for that. It’s really one of the best.

    Those look so good! I always make pecan pies for the family at Thanksgiving, but I’m a sucker for pumpkin! I’ll have to admit I’ve never had non-canned pumpkin pie, I’m drooling over here! 😉

      We usually make pecan pies as well. We omitted for Thanksgiving, but will surely have one for Christmas.

    I’m guessing there are is none of those desserts left.
    I’m not a fan of pumpkin (hubby is, though) but I LOVE cherry pie. I made a cherry crumb pie to bring to our friends for T-Day and everyone LOVED it… including me.
    I actually made two (one without crumb topping) and put it in the freezer for later for us. =)
