what was your desert this Thanksgiving

2025/11/29 Edited to

... Read moreThanksgiving desserts are often the highlight of the holiday meal, bringing family and friends together to enjoy something sweet after a hearty feast. Traditional options like pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and apple pie remain favorites across many households. However, there has been a growing trend to diversify Thanksgiving sweets with innovative recipes such as sweet potato cheesecake, cranberry tarts, and even festive trifles incorporating seasonal fruits and spices. Many people also enjoy incorporating local or family-specific recipes into their dessert offerings, giving each Thanksgiving its own unique flavor. For those looking to avoid excessive sugar or gluten, alternatives like fruit crisps, spiced nuts, or even savory-sweet dishes featuring maple or caramel flavors have become popular. Sharing your dessert choice or recipe can inspire others to try new tastes and celebrate the holiday with creativity and joy. Whether your dessert was a homemade classic, a store-bought treat, or a new experimental bake, it contributes to the heartwarming tradition that makes Thanksgiving memorable. If you’re planning ahead for next year, consider exploring seasonal ingredients like cranberry, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pecans to keep your desserts both festive and delicious.

What’s the WORST Thanksgiving food?🤢
1. Mac & Cheese (with veggies or breadcrumbs) Now if your family likes it like this, then I love it!🙌🏾 But I personally don’t want peppers, onions, tomatoes, or breadcrumbs in my Thanksgiving Mac!❌ 2. Casserole I didn’t grow up in a family that makes casserole for any occasion. So it’s jus

Giant Circles in the Desert?
I have no idea what these giant circles in the desert must be. Google tells me they’re for “circle irrigation” but it’s near impossible to grow anything in the desert. The soil in Las Vegas inhospitable, the heat in Nevada is unbearable and getting water out that far has to be expensive. Any ideas?
