btw, I'm jealous of all of you. We always just have pumpkin pie made with the least amount of sugar possible.

I can pretty much live on pumpkin pie. Not just any pumpkin pie though, as some is freaking nasty. It has to be made with Libby's pumpkin pie mix and have homemade whip cream. NO COOL WHIP!!

Farrah, I like the cream puff idea. I don't think I'll have time to take that on this week, but it reminds me it's time to get those back into my dessert rotations.

Almost as bad as your peanut butter sandwich story.

No, even my mom knows better than to try to healthify Thanksgiving. She makes at least three different pies. It is my in-laws Thanksgiving I speak of. Last year, my MIL cut out some of the sugar to the pumpkin pie, and I think was adding honey instead. The sweet potatoes are steamed in their skins (more nutrition in the skins), and the stove top stuffing has extra veggies added in.

While the food sounds unappetizing, the way the attractive sentiment was carried out is somehow charming.

That's when I say, why even bother? I mean, if you're going to have pie, have pie.

Like we haven't made out!

It was marsupial who claimed my opinion wasn't informed!

Marsupial makes mean chocolate mousse and coconut cream pie. I never was into key lime pie until I tried Farrah's -- delicious. Pumpkin is fine. Apple and strawberry are pretty good, but not great. Pecan is delicious without the pecans. Most pie crusts just aren't that good though. that's why cakes are usually superior.
