While I love me some pumpkin recipes any time of the year, I know that it’s not everyone’s thing. I also know that sometimes you get asked to bring a “non-pumpkin” dessert to a Thanksgiving get-together. I thought it would be good to find some festive, full of fall flavor options for Thanksgiving desserts that are not made with pumpkin. So here are over 40 non-pumpkin dessert ideas from other bakers and bloggers for you to whip up for your Thanksgiving tables. Click on the links or photos to be taken to the website for the recipe…

OMG Christi!!!!!!! This makes me so happy. While I love love love pumpkin this time of year (well, any time of year!), it’s nice to see so many different flavors pop up alongside of it. Thank you for including my gingersnaps! That means a lot to me. Like Averie – I just opened a TON of links!! Looks like I won’t be getting anything done this evening…
