T-Day means giving thanks to all of the fabulous things in life—that includes tantalizing treats that are usually off-limits. On Thursday it’s okay to eat all you want during dinner and dessert and by tradition there’s always a surplus of delish pies on the table. I’ve found the richest recipes worthy of your one-day-only indulgence. Calories hardly count on Thanksgiving, so go on and try them all! Your sweet tooth will thank you.
