Last Minute Thanksgiving Dessert Recipes!

Hey there!

Thanksgiving is in 2 days, just in case you didn’t remember. (If that’s the case… it may be too late for your turkey, but it isn’t too late for dessert!)

This time of year is always extremely popular on my blog, and for good reason: my readers LOVE to bake, and want to make the BEST thing for the holidays. I’m always so touched when someone tells me they made one of my recipes for such a special occasion like Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, or Christmas. It’s so flattering and heartwarming because before I started my blog, I was always on the hunt for the perfect recipe to make my beloved family and friends during the holiday season… so I know how important it is to choose the best thing!
