2. Ricotta Pie
My moms side of the family is Italian, so my grandma would always bring this ricotta pie to our Thanksgiving feast. This recipe is inspired by grandma's recipe, and it's always been a hit with my family.
The light, creamy, and subtly sweet ricotta filling is balanced out by a crisp and butter pie crust. It's delicious, so if you want a different kind of pie at your Thanksgiving table this year, give this recipe a try!

3. No Bake Pumpkin Pie with Graham Cracker Crust
I love a classic pumpkin pie and I made it even better by putting a no bake pumpkin pie filling on top of a buttery graham cracker crust. The combination is perfect, and the graham cracker crust is way easier to make from scratch than a traditional pie crust.
If you want to save time, you can even pick up a pre-made on from the grocery store instead!
