The holidays are here, meaning it's time to start preparing for the festivities. Thanksgiving is one such big holiday, and is all about bonding with the family, friends, and feasting. Of course, we can't all be the hosts, and for many of us, we're probably thankful it's not our turn to do it. However, even though you aren't hosting, there is still something you can do, like showing up with a ready to eat addition to the meal.
For those attending an upcoming Thanksgiving feast, the one crucial element to your attendance (other than being present) is that you bring something to the table. Of course, what better to bring than some sweetness to the table, dessert, which is a part of the menu everyone looks forward to (especially the kids)? Thanksgiving desserts range from pies to cake and coffee, all of which are offered to supplement the enjoyable evening's main meals.
What to bring
Fresh into the fall season of harvest time, Pumpkin pie and Pumpkin pudding are definite options for your dessert entrée. And where pies are concerned, pecans are fresh from the tree and good for the pie. There's also Pumpkin parfait, which includes the yummy flavor of chilled pumpkin parfait mixed with vanilla ice cream (or yogurt) and topped with cinnamon and whipped cream. Regardless of how it's prepared, pumpkin is a definite ingredient for the holiday's hungry bellies.
Cheesecake is a great base, but should be topped with strawberries or cherries for some extra sweetness. Of course, a good old pound cake topped with some icing will go great with coffee to keep the conversation going.
The Thanksgiving classic, sweet potato pie, is another never-fail solution to your dessert wishes. Topped with cream, cinnamon, and your grandma's secret ingredients, it is a great addition to any Thanksgiving event.
Fruity turkey? If you're looking for something a little exotic, but still simple in nature, this awesome dish is the perfect choice. Simply cut pears, apples, and mandarins into slices. Then fashion them in turkey-like similarity, being sure to include the fanning feather tail (and some raisins for eyes and the gobbler). The ingredients are simple, and it's definitely something that endorses the Thanksgiving spirit (plus it's the perfect choice for anyone focused on staying healthy).
Ask for help
Of course, if you're running low on time to focus on preparing for this year's Thanksgiving, you can always discuss the wide array of delicious dessert options with your West Texas caterer. They have all the answers to your dessert needs. You can count on the professionals to help you out during the holiday season.
Choosing what to bring to this year's Thanksgiving event can be difficult with all the tasty dishes out there. And if you're worried about bringing the same thing as someone else, just be prepared with two different recipes. After all, there's always room for one more serving.
