Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Thanksgiving Dessert Recipes

The best dessert recipes for an amazing Thanksgiving including pies, cakes, tarts, chocolate, pumpkin, apples, etc.

The turkey may be the star of the show but it’s definitely the dessert that gets all the attention! I often like to go all out with the dessert and with falls harvest around there are plenty of options. My biggest problem is trying to decide which dessert to make as there are just too many amazing options. Despite the fact that I want to go all out on dessert I recognize the fact that the Thanksgiving meal is already a huge production and so I appreciate a dessert that can be made a day or two ahead of time.

    Melissa Good Taste: Yes I use a hand blender for soups. It is so much easier than transferring to a full blender in batches.

    Oh Kevin, you naughty, naughty man! Among other goodies, you made pecan pie, the sweetest of all holiday pies, even sweeter. Who would even think of improving on a most delectable dessert?

    When my pecan pie loving husband showed a wisp of rare open-mindedness so I jumped at the chance.

    (We couldn't get our hands on Medjool and used Deglet Noor dates instead. They were lighter and less rich, but worked out.)

    What a success! My husband loved the pie and asked for it again next year.

    ps you had me at Bacon Jam.
