As many of you know I'm in charge of Turkey Day dinner again this year. I always go overboard on quantity--in part on purpose so everyone can take some leftovers and in part because it's a chance to try lots of recipies! My family usually aren't big dessert eaters (where did I come from?!?) so this is my chance to fill 'em up!
So as I struggle to whittle down my menu to something managable, I need to narrow down the dessert choices a bit. Last year I made 3 (apple pie--a required standard, cranberry angel food cake, and sweet potato rum cake) and although we only have 7 people to feed, it was a nice variety everyone enjoyed and provided lots of leftovers.
So I'm thinking I'll do 3 again but can't decide. :roll: Please help!
Apple pie w/ vanilla ice cream(it's a required tradition so it has to be one of the three)
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Low-fat cheesecake with a maple cranberry topping
Pumpkin pie with a pecan crust
Bourbon sweet potato pie (probably won't be a big favorite w/ anyone other than me)
Chocolate merangue pie
