Easy Thanksgiving Dessert Recipes

So, I was supposed to share my weekly meal-plan with you yesterday … but, I’ve been a bit distracted lately on Pinterest.  Instead of focusing on breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas … I’ve been letting my sweet tooth dictate my pins.  And so, unable to control myself, I can’t do anything but think about pears and apples and pumpkin and every other perfect Thanksgiving dessert.

It’s like a sickness, y’all.

I think it has something to do with the fact this is my first holiday — the first real test — since making the decision to be grain-free.  Thanksgiving has always been my favorite food holiday, and this will be the first time I come face to face with the traditional holiday desserts that I adore. .. and not be able to take a single bite.

Yeah, probably shouldn’t tempt my will-power by spending on Pinterest.

But, here we are … my list of Easy Thanksgiving Desserts … showcasing both recipes I CAN have and the decadent goodness I WANNA have.

Someone make them all for me and then tell me how delicious each is.  Wait — scratch that.  Tell me they are all horrible.  Tasteless.  Imperfect.  Bland.

(even though we all know they are truly wonderfully, amazingly scrumptious!)
