I had two pieces of pie over the weekend and one small handful of chocolate covered almonds. That was all I ate for sweets.
Christmas is going to be a much different story... My husband makes homemade egg nog and a ton of German cookies that we only get on Christmas. I will be in gluttony mode for sure.
So you have a husband that makes cookies? Dang, that must be pretty awesome.
I've never had homemade egg nog before. One thing that I know and believe is that egg nog always tasted better with whisky, rum or brandy. 😜0 -
Quelled my pie/dessert cravings with mashed sweet potato with a little pumpkin pie spice worked in. I nuked it warm and then topped with cold plain yogurt and cinnamon/raisin granola. Heaven in a bowl!
I too have been known to do similar 'things' (roasted squash varieties are really good too!)
OK, here I am digressing again *and* being a force for calorie depravity (?) again: Someone on another thread posted a recipe for a white miso caramel sauce (which was excellent), and a recent episode with squash juices caramelizing on the roasting pan (tasty!) has me contemplating making squash-miso caramel. It could be a disaster, but it might be good . . . .
P.S. On the more calorie-friendly end of the scale, some friends gave me a bottle of pear and cinnamon infused aged balsamic vinegar, which was really amazing on Winter squash, especially with a reasonable (modest) amount of toasted walnuts.
Was it (the miso sauce) suggested from @acpgee on 'What do your meals look like?' - I kind of remember reading this sauce suggestion a while ago. Sure does sound delish! and that aged bv w/walnuts sounds epic too!
Yes! That's the miso caramel sauce. I think it was this one:

The miso adds a little saltiness, and a little subtle richness. Very good, IMO.0 -
My family does a pretty good job of just having what we need for the number of people in attendance at the holidays. No pie leftovers and very little leftovers in general. I pulled what meat I could off the carcass and used the carcass to make a stock for my turkey stew last Saturday and that used up most of the turkey leftovers as well. I have just enough dark meat, stuffing, and green bean casserole for lunch today and that will be the end of it.2

He is the main cook of the house, and yes, it rocks. Although, the downside is that I have to follow him around the kitchen typing into MFP whatever he's adding to recipes. Our current "disagreements" involve things like this: "Why did you throw away the wrapper before I could scan it??" "Sorry, I forgot! I'm just cooking!" lol
The nog is made with brandy. It's awesome.1 -
I'm not a big "pie (or baked goods) guy.
So no TG pie leftovers at my place but I recently made a dedacent no bake icebox choc cake recipe published by Ina Garten that was DELICIOUS but it is so cal rich that I personally wouldn't make/eat it more than once a year (or two)!

My husband used to bake cookies all the time and makes an amazing Snickerdoodle. I bake and cook quite a bit more than him now, but he's the better cook/baker.
I finally ate the last of the gluten-free/vegan pumpkin pie I made, that I actually preferred to the traditional. I'm not a big pie person generally, but I LOVE cake!
