BY SPECIAL REQUEST--STRESS FREE AND ECONOMICAL THANKSGIVING DESSERTS

Welcome to Everything Croton, (while the New One is down) a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

While many of us hope for better days ahead, the need to pinch the pennies will continue to be with us for some time to come.  And with Thanksgiving on the horizon, the blog has had the annual request for holiday "dessert" helpful hints and recipes that won't break the bank...here you go---click on the photos and links:

For many families, "gussied-upped" instant pudding or Jello served in the prettiest glasses is traditional dessert fare....but oh that deflated whipped cream---and yes homemade really is best---here's 4 STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM RECIPES---these methods REALLY work! CHECK OUT THE VIDEO HERE.  AND HERE'S A GREAT RECIPE AND VIDEO FOR STABILIZIED CARAMEL WHIPPED CREAM! This goes great on pumpkin or apple pie.

And keeping things stress free---If you are not making your pies from scratch, we highly recommend MRS. SMITH FROZEN BAKE AND SERVE PIES---(shhhhhhhhh....no one needs to know)---their Dutch Apple Crumb and Pumpkin pies are amazing...find them at Croton Shoprite.  Add one of the stabilized home made whipped creams above and you can truly say, yep, I made it myself.
