Thanksgiving Week: The Thanksgiving Dessert Table! {Powernap}
Naptime Chef Thanksgiving Week!: Don’t forget that this week we are talking Thanksgiving over here at Naptime Chef. Come share your recipes and ideas and enter below to win an Aluminum Professional Non-Stick Roasting pan and set of lifting forks, official rules below.
It is nearly impossible to recommend a particular dessert for Thanksgiving because there are so many! Where we happen to be going there are also a ton of awesome bakeries so it is mostly likely we’ll just order something amazing from one of them. My mother-in-law doesn’t stock a ton of baking supplies and I don’t want to buy a huge bag of flour only to use to cups and ask her to store it for a year. The good news for all of you is that we I have a ton of great desserts that have already been written about that I can highly recommend!
Planning the Thanksgiving Dessert Table:
– Consider the crowd: Kids? Adults? A mix? Take a quick talley of anyone with food allergies and plan accordingly.
– Balance out the desserts: Pie is, of course, a requirement, but it is also fun to mix in some other fallish treats like bars, cookies, even cakes. It is also a great idea to have a mix of ice creams on hand to serve the above treats. You’ll be surprised at how many people choose pumpkin brownies and ice cream over apple pie when given the option!
– Make To-Go Packs: If people are traveling to your house for the holiday have some packaging on hand so you can send some dessert “to-go” home on their way out!
