Answer 3

Pumpkin pie or pecan pie are probably the two most common desserts served on Thanksgiving Day, I would look up a recipe for pumpkin pie. If pumpkin is hard to find where you live, you can substitute cooked, mashed sweet potato/ yams, and you can even substitute cooked, mashed carrots, although sweet potatoes are closer to pumpkin in flavor. The recipe will probably call for pumpkin pie spice- here's how to make that: Mix up a jar of your own: * Mix 1/4 cup of cinnamon with 4 tsp of ground ginger, 2 tsp of nutmeg, 2 tsp allspice, 1 tsp freshly ground cloves. You can make an adequate pumpkin pie spice with just the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. I like the added flavor of allspice and cloves, but in a pinch you can do without.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMmLs

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Split it into two gram cracker crusts top with cherries. And the best thing is it only costs about 5.00 to make and the whole family will love it i promise.

Trifle is a yummy dessert (in a large bowl line bottom with cake, jam roll is nice, then put fruit on top of that then jelly on top of the fruit then custard or cream or both if your feeling indulgent on the very top). Apple crumble is also good (mix together some rolled oats, coconut, brown sugar, wholemeal flour, butter and ground nutmeg. put on top of some diced bakers apples put in the oven for 20 Min's, serve topped with custard or ice- cream).
