I'm doing a small Thanksgiving dinner this weekend - DH, MIL and meeting MIL's boyfriend for the first time, and potentially DH's brother + wife (unsure at this point). I'm getting a small turkey, will have stuffing, a green salad, roasted veggies, roast potatoes (or should I do mashed?), but now onto dessert.
Obviously I don't want to go crazy...which is hard because I'm used to cooking/baking for a ridiculous amount of people. lol. What would your preference be?

I can't believe someone voted kitties, please don't eat the kitties! (:
I'm sure any dessert would go over well, there's always room for dessert (:

I always err on the side of having too much dessert and sending leftovers home with people, so I'd totally do the applesauce cake AND the chocolate cheesecake! Nom nom nom.

I'd do something fall-ish, so my vote would be for the applesauce cake, or anything with apples!

That's the recipe I used - it was SO rich according to DH (I have a nut allergy so couldn't eat it)

Apple spice cake is light. Iced pumpkin bread like a bundt would be tasty too.

I am such a picky dessert person so I don't like any of those options, but i'm not a good person to ask lol. I personally prefer berry pie, chocolate or angel food cake.

Pumpkin pie always for thanksgiving. That is what I'll be making this weekend.
But if your not into that then I'd do something with apples.

I'm going to make Macarons for our thanksgiving gathering. Not really traditional, but everyone likes them and they're light enough for after a big meal.

I voted cheesecake cupcakes, but I always feel like I NEED pumpkin at Thanksgiving. I found a pumpkin bread pudding recipe that it currently a serious contender for my Thanksgiving dessert.

Will you be cooking the whole meal? If so, I would go for a simple pumpkin pie or apple pie.
