Last week, we covered some places to grab a Thanksgiving turkey. Now, onto something a little sweeter: desserts! Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same without some treats to wash down that cranberry-in-a-can your uncle brought to dinner and everyone felt obligated to eat.
We rounded up a few ideas, from classic turkey day pies to bread pudding. Catch up with us next week, too, when we’ll be closing out the series with some Thanksgiving side dish ideas.
Cou-Yon’s bread pudding
The Port Allen restaurant known for its barbecue and seafood is serving up a warm Thanksgiving pie alternative: Homemade Bread Pudding complete with a Jack Daniels whiskey sauce. The dessert is part of Cou-Yon’s’ complete holiday catering menu, paired with smoked turkey and ham options. Check out the entire menu here.
