If you are reading this, chances are you're scrambling for Thanksgiving and holiday dessert recipes. The good news is you've come to the right place! Below I've listed my five favorite dessert resources. Each source provides dozens of yummy treats to serve on turkey day or throughout the holiday season. I know you're short on time, so let's get down to dessert business!

The Cheap Gourmet's Five Favorite Thanksgiving and Holiday Dessert Recipe Resources

Truvia.com – Truvia™ is a new all-natural sweetener derived from the stevia leaf. Truvia was recently featured on The Martha Stewart Show as one of "Martha's Finds" and part of O You!, The Oprah Magazine's signature event in Kansas City, Missouri.

Baking with Truvia is different than using granulated sugar, so be certain to review the Sweetness Conversion Chart if you decide to use Truvia in recipes other than those presented on their website.

My personal Truvia recipes include: Pumpkin Pie (of course!), Pecan Pie, Sweet Potato Pie, Classic Cheesecake, and Apple Berry Galette. Give your guests the special treat of reduced-calorie, flavor-rich healthy desserts. I promise they will never know the difference unless you tell them!

MyRecipes.com – Featuring Thanksgiving and holiday recipes from Cooking Light, Southern Living, Coastal Living, All You, Real Simple and Health magazines, MyRecipes.com is featuring a special holiday pie section.

"9 Delicious Pies for Turkey Day" selections include: Double Apple Pie with Cornmeal Crust, Oatmeal Pecan Pie, Elegant Pumpkin-Walnut Layered Pie, Coconut Cream Pie with Pineapple, Tiramisu Toffee Trifle Pie, Peanut Butter Banana Pie, Cherries Jubilee Ice Cream Pie, Fudge Pie and Peanut Butter Pie.

KraftFoods.com – Kraft Foods has a special place in my heart as my mom whipped up many holiday meals and desserts using their product line. Their website presents a "Best Ever Thanksgiving Recipes" section that can help you with everything from turkey and trimmings to elegant desserts.

This year, I will be serving Kraft Foods Rocky Road Freeze pie. This decadent dessert is super easy to prepare, requires few ingredients, and is often accompanied by squeals of delight at first bite!

Other delicious dessert recipes include: Chocolate Truffle Pie, The Perfect Apple Pie, Candy Crunch Pudding Pie, Philadelphia Caramel Pecan Cheesecake, Ginger Snap Bread Pudding, Banana Pudding Squares, and Angel Lush; a diabetic-friendly dessert!

MixingBowl.com – This community-driven website is a great place to locate unique Thanksgiving and holiday dessert recipes while meeting other passionate foodies. Members can save and share recipes, create their own blog, upload photos, join groups and participate in cooking contests. Best of all, membership is free. Once you join, consider entering the "$2,500 Master Mixer Challenge" where five lucky winners will receive $500 cash!

Thanksgiving desserts include everything from Cranberry Apple Walnut Bread to Heath Bar Crunch Pumpkin Pie and "Mom's Pumpkin Pie" Sugar Cookies to Chocolate Stuffed Sticky Bundt.  

BakeSpace.com – Another social cooking site, Bake Space is a fun and interactive website offering an abundance of recipes for every day cooking to holiday entertaining. At present, Bake Space members have swapped more than 1 million recipes so chances are high you will find exactly what you're looking for along with many recipe surprises!

Dozens of Thanksgiving dessert recipes are included in the Bake Space database. A few of my favorites include: Pumpkin Custard Ice Cream, Zucchini Spice Cake with Lemon Sauce, Pumpkin Mousse in Cinnamon Pastry Shells and Apple Cider Float.

Alouette Cheese Gourmet Fall Giveaway Winner and November Giveaway Announcement

I am pleased to announce the confirmed Alouette Cheese Gourmet Fall Giveaway Winner. Although it took three tries, Viveca Stone-Berry has claimed her prize and Alouette is in the process of sending her gorgeous cheeseboard, free gourmet cheeses, and all the other goodies that came with the giveaway.

The Alouette Cheese "Slow Down and Savor Life" contest was the first major giveaway offered through The Cheap Gourmet blog. As with all new things, I underwent a learning curve. I must admit I was surprised the first two winners did not claim their prize.

If you have suggestions on how I can improve future giveaways to ensure recipients are easily notified, feel free to leave a comment. I hope to attract more major food and cooking brands to offer prizes to The Cheap Gourmet readers and want to make the process as easy as possible for participants. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

A Strange Twist…

Oddly enough, I know Viveca Stone-Berry quite well. Her name was chosen at random through the contest service provider. Apparently, it was meant for her to win the Alouette Cheese giveaway because she has in turn given you the chance to win a great holiday gift.

Viveca is the co-founder of DogCaptionCards.com; an organization that sells greeting cards graced with photographs of the lives of dogs (and a few cats!). Beneath is a catchy caption that captures the essence of each photograph. Words cannot express how adorable these cards are!

Dog Caption Cards is launching new greeting card packs, which have yet to be released to the general public. These include the "Merry Christmas Card Pack", “Happy New Sniffs – Happy New Year Pack” and the "Thank You" bundle. Readers of The Cheap Gourmet will be the first to have access to the new line of greeting cards. How exciting is that!

The Cheap Gourmet November Contest Details

The contest is simple. Leave a comment or suggestion on any blog post and include your email address. I moderate every comment and will remove your email address prior to publishing. On Monday, November 30th the winner will be selected at random. The winner will be published on the The Cheap Gourmet blog and contacted via email.

The winner must confirm their prize within 3 days or a new winner will be selected. Once confirmed, Dog Caption Cards will mail your prize.

The Prize:

The prize is Dog Caption Cards "Merry Christmas – Happy New Year Pack" consisting of 25 greeting cards that will take you from Christmas to New Year's.

Valued at $25, Dog Caption Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Card Pack includes: 10 Christmas cards, 5 Thank You cards, and 10 New Year's cards.

Your friends will be delighted to receive these adorable cards and you'll be proud to send them. Each 5 x 7 card is blank inside allowing you to include a personal message of joy and good cheer. Insert gift certificates, gift cards, photographs, airline tickets or money!

A Worthy Cause – Save an Animal's Life

Not only are these holiday greeting cards unique, they support a very worthy cause.

Dog Caption Cards donates 25-percent of every sale to dog and cat animal rescue organizations. Viveca is passionate about her pups and purrs. Not only is she a pet owner, she also fosters dogs until appropriate owners can be found and volunteers at a local no-kill shelter.

I encourage you to visit DogCaptionCards.com and buy some greeting cards. If you are involved in animal rescue fundraising or would like the opportunity to earn extra cash, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on “affiliate fundraising tab” to enroll as an affiliate.

Viveca's affiliate program is simple. Affiliates earn 25-percent commission for every sale referred through their unique affiliate code. Details can be found at DogCaptionCards.com.

Alouette Cheese Gourmet Fall Cheese Party Giveaway

It's not too late to enter the Alouette Cheese Gourmet Fall Cheese Party Giveaway. But, you better hurry because the winner will be selected at midnight on Halloween night, October 31st. My dear friend, Maeme, was gracious enough to open her home and host The Cheap Gourmet's wine and cheese party. It was a huge success and tons of fun. Here's Maeme enjoying one of Alouette's spreadable cheeses.

Kim, shown below, brought two bottles of Chocolate Wine, which was a big hit. After all, who doesn't love chocolate? The chocolate wine is definitely more of an after-dinner dessert wine. A small glass or two is the perfect accompaniment with a piece of dark chocolate and a slice of brie cheese. Thanks for the chocolate wine Kim. It was delightful!

We indulged in a bounty of finger foods, salads, veggie tray, fruit platter, nuts, candies, crackers, breads and cheeses. As you can see, everyone loved the luscious Alouette cheeses and were extremely impressed by the gorgeous cheeseboard that's part of the Gourmet Fall Cheese Party giveaway.

Delane loved Alouette's spreadable spinach and artichoke dip.

Bonnie's favorites included the spreadable Sundried Tomato and Basil and and Creme de Brie.

I have compiled a Wine and Cheese menu which includes several of the dishes served at The Cheap Gourmet's Wine and Cheese party. I hope you enjoy the recipes and wish you the best of luck in the drawing.
