Thanksgiving Desserts

Over the four days of Thanksgiving, we enjoyed four different desserts - one each day! Monday, we had apple & cherry squares. This dessert is one of Gary's favorites, that his mom makes for him. The pastry is almond flavored, and the dessert is like a kugle (not sure I spelled that right!). It's very yummy! I don't know why I don't have a picture of it!

Tuesday, the day Mema and Papa arrived, I made a pie crust that was too crumbly, so Papa worked on it and made it right. Then Mema and Ben rolled it out and made the peach filling from peaches we had frozen in July. They were so beautiful, and the pie was delicious. Here's Ben and the Peach Pie ...

Wednesday, Mema rolled out the crust and I made the filling for a chocolate pie. It set up perfectly, and when we went to eat it, Gary wanted the traditional Cool Whip on it, Alek wanted a cherry, and Ben decided to make chocolate shavings! Truly a group effort, and again, it was delicious. Here's Alek and Papa with slices of the chocolate pie ...

Thursday, Thanksgiving, Mema made another crust, and Alek rolled it out and made the pumpkin filling. We ate this one a few hours after Thanksgiving dinner. He made pretty cut-outs of turkeys, pumpkins and leaves to decorate!

What a fun holiday of desserts!
