Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and always has been.  Maybe it’s the stuffing, the mashed potatoes or let’s be honest – the never ending selection of desserts.  All I know is that since I can remember, I’ve loved Thanksgiving and therefore love sharing tons of fall and Thanksgiving themed recipes with all of you.

Today, I came up with a selection of 25 of the very best Thanksgiving Dessert Recipes that are actually healthier, made with nourishing ingredients, and still taste every damn bit as good as your old favorites.

The recipes you’ll find here come from my blog and some of my favorite fellow healthy food bloggers’ websites.  Most are paleo, all are gluten-free, and many are dairy free and vegan as well (I’ll label them so there’s no confusion.)
