I love to cook during the holidays. aside from my garlic mashed potatoes and gravy, sugar snap peas and shallots, and grilled squash, I made my favorite desserts: pumpkin cheesecake and pecan bars for thanksgiving. I hate to brag, but I swear that this is one of the best pumpkin cheesecakes you'll ever have. After about 4 years of tweaking, it's pretty much there. I could work on my decorating skills a little bit more. I accidentally used the wrong tip, so I'll make that my excuse for why it looks the way it does.
I decided to throw in a new one. chocolate chocolate chip cheesecake with an oreo crust. kahlúa whipped cream to top it off. instant classic. so chocolately, so rich. yum.
my sister did her red-velvet cake. the trend is pretty much over, but cream cheese frosting still tops.
of course, pecan bars with a shortbread crust. buttery goodness. toasted pecans. better than pie, imo.
my contribution alone to this thanksgiving meal involved more than eight sticks of butter.
how bad can that be.
