50 Desserts to Serve on Thanksgiving

Have you started planning the menu for your Thanksgiving dinner? Are you looking for some dynamite dessert recipes that will satisfy your guests' collective sweet tooth? Be sure to check out this amazing round-up of 50 Thanksgiving dessert recipes on Taste As You Go! This post was updated with new links and photos in November 2021. Ahhhh...  November.  I have been waiting for you (and all that you bring) for months . Specifically, I have been counting down to that glorious day spent with family and loved ones around a long table packed to the gills with platters and bowls of comfort food and happy memories. Of course, I'm talking about Thanksgiving. This year, we're spending the holiday with my family in Connecticut and I. Cannot. Wait. You better believe I'm going to use my pregnancy as an excuse to eat three full plates of food plus  five slices of whatever we've got going on at the dessert end of the meal! (Because I'm eating for two, right??) In

What's for Dinner: October 6 - October 12

What's for Dinner: October 6 - October 12 | A week of dinners on Taste As You Go

Since last week was so busy, I made sure we made time for some fall family fun this weekend. My main goal? Spruce up our front step and decorate it for the season.

We headed to a local garden center and spent way too much time picking out mums and an assortment of pumpkins. Then, before his swim lesson this afternoon, my son and I went shopping for a new fall wreath for the front door.

I'm so in love with the finished look. Now it's all about keeping everything looking fresh... and keeping the squirrels away from the pumpkins!

Of course, focusing so much attention on the house took time away from other things. Like getting this week's menu plan post on the blog at a reasonable hour. Alas... such is life.

Without further ado, here's what's on deck for dinner at our house this week!

Sunday: Stuffed Pepper Casserole

I was going to make this for dinner last night, but we were out late and just cobbled together a meal when we got home. So I bumped the casserole up to tonight.


This is one of our family's favorite fall salads. (Though, to be honest, I make it all year around!) Since they were on sale, I bought some dried cherries to add on top. So good!

TuesdayRoasted Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Mushrooms and Roasted Red Potatoes

It's been a long time since I've made this pork tenderloin recipe, and I have to admit... I'm really looking forward to it. Let's hope the kids leave enough so we have a nice variety of leftovers for Buffet Night this week!

Wednesday: Buffet Night


Ground turkey was also on sale recently, so my husband has been tasked with making a batch of my Three Bean Chili with turkey instead of beef. I have to work on Thursday night, so I made it a little easier for him by planning the meal and making sure we have all of the ingredients in the house.

Friday: Chicken Parmesan Pizza

This is an easy pizza to throw together. Use store-bought dough and jarred pizza sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella and diced breaded, pre-cooked chicken tenders. Then grated some fresh Parmesan cheese on top and bake. Ta da!

SaturdaySwedish Meatballs over Mashed Potatoes and Gravy with Peas 

I'm trying to avoid a trip to IKEA by making this meal at home. Think it'll work?
