Hasn't this week been fun? I have seen some really great recipes. Remember my little giveaway. You are entered for each recipe you link up.
I am so excited about today. I can only imagine the yummy dessert recipes that are going to come in. Because if you are like me you have to make EVERYONE'S favorite dessert on Thanksgiving.
My husbands favorite is Maple Pecan Pie.
My Dad's is Mom's Apple Pie.
Kathy's and Kelsey's is Pumpkin Pie
Mine and Mike's and Kaye's is Chocolate Cream Pie (so I make 2).
I think my Mom likes a little of each.
And the kids will eat whatever! LOL!
I think this year I am going to add a Pumpkin Roll to the mix, because in reality I LOVE cake more than pie. I know I know it's horrible but I just love cake and not so much pies.
So here is the addition to my Thanksgiving Dinner this year.

Oooo! I have yet to master pumpkin roll...I will have to give your recipe a try! :)
I don't like pumpkin pie at all neither does the rest of my family, so pumpkin cake roll is always on our dessert list. LOL! :D I haven't tried it with making it healthier yet though.
I posted my layered pudding dessert....I WAS gonna post my fantastic, most delicious "Mom's Apple Pie",...but I was afraid your Dad would read my blog, LOLOLOLOLOL...we'll have to save that story for another time, eh?
What a great alternative to the traditional apple pie:-)
I'm soooo glad to know I'm not the only one that puts out a ton of dessert for Thanksgiving!! I mean, we need options, right?! LOL! Thanks for hosting this my friend!
