Thanksgiving Recipes

This week's SaS theme is Thanksgiving DESSERTS!!  Obviously one of my favorite things.  I love some turkey and stuffing...but then bring on the sweets :D

I've made both of these in previous years, and thought they were pretty yummy so I thought I'd share.  They both came from allrecipes.com.
