Once October comes around the corner, the feelings of fall and upcoming holidays become real: winds get colder, scarves and beanies slowly make their way out of the closet, coffee or hot cocoa comes to mind more often and the excitement for Thanksgiving hits you gradually as it approaches. Thanksgiving is great because you finally get the opportunity to travel home, be with family and of course, eat to your heart’s content. The traditional dishes are really great and all, but do you ever wonder if there could be anything else to eat for dessert besides pie? Have no fear! Here are five recipes for Thanksgiving dessert that deserve a place at the table.
