One thing many people love about holidays is the way it gives you a temporary green light to eat things you might normally avoid. Personally, I try not to eat sugar, but when it's a special occasion, I'll definitely have a piece of pie or cheesecake. For Thanksgiving, the traditional dessert is pumpkin pie, so of course we'll start with some tips on making that. Then if you'd like to try something new on the plate next to your slice of pie, here are lots of other delicious possibilities. If you have a favorite Thanksgiving dessert recipe that would make a good addition to the list, please leave your link in the comments.

First, don't miss all the pumpkin desserts in the recipes I shared when I wrote Cooking with Pumpkins. I won't repeat those here, so if Thanksgiving dessert has to be pumpkin for you, that list has some great ideas. Or, if you fancy a dessert with apples, you can't go wrong with the Rustic Apple Galette featured as part of Blogher's holiday videos.
