THANKSGIVING: Sweet Tooth

in , , , , , ,

I'm sure you're gearing up for your Thanksgiving holiday feast. It's that time of year most of us want to impress the in-laws, our friends, and maybe even ourselves with something new and out of our realm of comfort in the kitchen. We have a long list of must-eats at the Neal house, which consist of my husband's famous Lamb Chops and now his Red Beans. Can you imagine an Irishman cooking Louisiana style Red Beans n' Rice! LOL. It's not your typical Thanksgiving menu at our home but my Mom and Dad never disappoint with Fried Turkey, Dirty Rice and Sweeeeeet Potato pie!! MMMMmmmm!

I'm soooo excited!! Not only to celebrate my favorite holiday and be with our family and friends, but it's the first Thanksgiving in our new home. Hubby and I love hosting and cooking. This year it's all about the sweet tooth and I want to add two of these new sugar addictions to our dining experience. Look at these sure to please dessert close-ups. I will post photos of how my attempts to re-create these unique sweets turned out.

Don't these just make your mouth water? What are you making this year or what are you looking forward to having someone else bring to the dinner table...LOL?

-Happy Friday & Happy Pinning!
