Thanksgiving Offerings

Delicious Pumpkin Bread

An enticing aroma wafts through my house when this tender cake-like bread is in the oven. I bake extra loaves to give as holiday gifts. My friends wait ea­gerly for it every year.

Pumpkin Pie Squares

The first time my husband and two daughters tried this dessert, they thought it was delicious. It has all of the spicy pumpkin goodness of the traditional pie without the fuss of a pastry crust.

Pumpkin Pound Cake

I enjoy baking from scratch and sharing my treats with others. This recipe for nice­ly spiced pumpkin pound cake is one I’ve come to re­ly on. It’s impossible to re­sist a slice topped with the sweet walnut sauce.

Plantation Gingerbread

I like to make this recipe for Christmas. The won­derful aroma of the ginger­bread fills the entire house.

Streusel Pumpkin Pie

Basic pumpkin pie is good, but we think this dressed-up version is even better. Plenty of pecans add a nut­ty crunch to the pastry and the streusel topping. It’s a perfect dessert for Thanks­giving or any time you want to end a dinner with some­thing special.

Traditional Pumpkin Pie

Usually I prepare two dif­ferent desserts for our holi­day dinner, but one of them must be pumpkin pie - oth­erwise, it just wouldn’t seem like Thanksgiving. My version calls for more eggs than most, making this pie’s pumpkin custard fill­ing especially rich-tasting.
