I am not a huge fan of Thanksgiving foods. Turkey? Take it or leave it. Mashed potatoes? Meh. But the desserts, that is something this holiday got right. From delicious pies and cakes to decadent tarts and cheesecakes this roundup of Thanksgiving desserts has it all. Choose one (or more!) to impress your friends and family.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I am not usually a fan of salad unless it has a lot of cheese on it (usually goat cheese) but this Asian Chicken Salad I could eat every week. It reminds me of the salad I love to get at Panera Bread, the Asian Sesame Salad with Chicken. It’s so yummy! I think next time I make it I will try to add wonton strips to make my recipe even more similar.

This week I celebrated my birthday and chose to make my own cake. Why, you ask? Because I knew exactly the kind of cake I wanted and I can be a control freak. I always love lemon desserts but rarely make them because it’s not my husband’s favorite flavor. But since it was MY birthday, I made a lemon poppy seed layer cake with lemon curd filling topped with lemon buttercream frosting. What can I say? This pregnant mama wanted lemon!
