How adorable are these Turkey Cookies from Serious Eats? The little guy in the middle looks terrified of being gooble-goobled up!

This week I'm testing holiday recipes to serve at the big Thanksgiving dinner I'm cooking for my whole family. This lovely—and, more important, EASY!— sage and honey skillet cornbread from Epicurious.com might just make the cut.

Speaking of mini desserts, I'm enchanted by the tiny three-layer cakes, tiny pies, and cute-as-a-button cupcakes that The Farm Chicks made for a "Tiny Party." Check out the link for even more DIY "tiny" party ideas, including tiny party hats and bags.

I know how many pieces of regular apple pie my diet allots for—one. But these precious mini apple pies (recipe at Pennies on a Platter)? I have no clue. They're so irresistible, I might just have to consume more than one. Or, ahem, several.
Do you have a favorite mini dessert?

I love cranberries, but I know lots of people—particularly kids—can't handle the sourness. Still, with the right amount of sugar, I think this tart 'n' tasty fruit has potential to be more than a tired Thanksgiving side or a forgotten muffin. Check out the New York Times article about the underrated cranberry; then read on for an easy cranberry sauce recipe guaranteed to sweeten up your Thanksgiving spread. (None of that canned stuff allowed!)

Just when you thought I couldn't possibly come up with another pumpkin recipe...
Thanks to CM.Ult.Cookbook for sharing her Pumpkin Pie Milkshake recipe with us. Pumpkin ice cream and whipped cream? I fear I will be unable to restrain myself...

Generally, I have no problem eating (most) animals. But these Turkey Cupcakes for Thanksgiving might be the exception. They're too cute! Un Muffin de Mer has the recipe.
What are you having for dessert on Thanksgiving?
