Thanksgiving desserts-need ideas!

I need ideas of some 'festive' holiday desserts that I can bake for work. (except for Pumpkin pie and corn muffins) Thanks!

those sound good, but i'm not a big apple pie fan and plus we just had a whole 'apple' festival with the kids and i swear if i eat or see one more apple...

No Cheesecake is not hard to make at all. I will email you the recipe when I get home. Very easy.

Angela - Cheese cake isnt hard to make at all - There is a pumpkin cheesecake recipe that I posted here a while ago - Very tasty!! Give it a try - you can do it!

I just had fun making Oreo dirt cake yesterday .. I filled three 7' pots, and added a real flower .. so they looked like potted flowers .. fooled everyone!!

My version of Oreo Dirt Cake:

Large pack of Oreo cookies (Reduced Fat)
12oz Cool Whip Topping (Lite) - thawed
8oz Philly Cream Cheese (Fat Free) - softened
2 packs Choc. Instant Pudding (Fat/Sugar Free)
3 1/2 cups 2% milk

Crush the cookies as fine as you can .. use a fork to sift the 'dirt' while continuing to crush. (I used a potato masher for crushing). Set dirt aside, splitting equally into two bowls.

Pour the milk into a large, empty bowl, and add both packs of pudding mix .. stir with wire wisk. When smooth, stir in Cool Whip well to distribute chocolate. Next, stir in cream cheese. When all these ingredients have been well blended, add one bowl of dirt and stir.

Using the remaining half of the dirt, spoon enough into your pot to cover the bottom. Then alternate a layer of pudding mixture, followed with a layer of dirt. The last, top layer needs to be of the dirt.

Insert your decoration. (For a Fall theme - try Gerber Daisies in Fall colors).

Enjoy!

(This can easily be prepared the night before it's needed).
