Baking for Thanksgiving 2013

Bacon-Pecan Pie from Easter 2013
Holidays are a great excuse to bake something for those I love, and Thanksgiving is just two weeks away! I'm starting to get ideas for things my family and friends might like and have been reflecting on things I baked in the past.

German Chocolate Cake from
my husband's 30th Birthday
My go-to baked treat has always been chocolate chip cookies, but for holidays and birthdays, I like to try and do something different.   About 10 years ago, I made Pumpkin cheesecake with gingersnap crust, and I'm thinking of doing it again this year with a pecan crust.  It's a tasty alternative to traditional pumpkin pie that I think my family will enjoy.

What are your favorite holiday desserts?
