I love pumpkin pie. Same here for me.

This isn't really related, but there is this one classic Christmas song that plays on the radio. The lyric is "some pumpkin pie", but I can never unheard it as"some fucking pie".

Sweet potatoes with cinnamon sugar on top.

Just a regular ol baked sweet potato? Interesting and simple. I like it

[โ€“] dandroid@dandroid.app 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The way my wife does it is by boiling them, peeling them, cutting them into cubes, then putting them in a glass tray, putting cinnamon sugar, butter, and marshmallows on top, then baking them.

Ohhh okay I got you. That sounds delish

In our family, it's always been served as a side dish, not a desert, but sweet potatoes mixed with a ton of butter and brown sugar, and then topped with marshmallows and baked... that usually was enough for me to satisfy any need for desert. I don't know how any of us avoided emerging from childhood without diabetes.

I've always wondered why that's served as a side, or even a "vegetable" dish

๐Ÿ‘€ Mind sharing that hazelnut cream puff recipe?

Also: my apple crisp is my favorite :)

[โ€“] FATMANinnaOVERCOAT@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'll see if I can find the one I use when I get off work.

[โ€“] Hobart_the_GoKart@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

I'll swap for my apple crisp recipe

[โ€“] blueday@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Pecan pie, but I never have room to eat it that day.

[โ€“] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Mashed potatoes and stuffing. I don't care about pies or tarts - just let me have more stuffing and potatoes, they're far better.

[โ€“] FATMANinnaOVERCOAT@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait but what about gravy ?! The holy trinity is mashed potatoes stuffing and gravy.

[โ€“] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

The gravy was implied, I'm not a monster.

Either pumpkin pie or apple pie are my favorites!

Thanksgiving is for pies in my family, any other desserts wait until Christmas.

Blondies (the cookie-looking brownies)

[โ€“] FATMANinnaOVERCOAT@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Oh hell yeah ! I love me some blondies.

[โ€“] Hobart_the_GoKart@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Just picked up a recipe for apple cinnamon Blondies I'm going to try this year.

[โ€“] rockandsock@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Sweet potato pie ๐Ÿฅง.

[โ€“] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Pecan pie. I may like to dunk on my state, but they're spot on when it comes to pecan pie. However, I like to use maple syrup instead of corn syrup because I hate the antichrist troll.
