Help me decide: tailgate dessert

I'm trying to decide what to make for dessert for our tailgate this weekend. Menu, if it matters, is grilled steaks, grilled sausage and peppers, potato salad, fruit salad, probably a cold couscous, chips and dip, that sort of thing.

For our last tailgate I did chocolate chip cookie pretzel bars and they were a huge hit. Last year I did sugar cookie bars, chocolate cupcakes with white chocolate raspberry filling, cookie dough cupcakes, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin and brown butter cookies..

I want to wait at least one more week before doing pumpkin anything since it is still 95+ here and doesn't feel like fall at all. Everyone at the tailgate likes everything (all fruit, chocolate, ect.) and there are no allergies.

I'm trying to decide between:

    just a rough IF day, crying at everything.

    vacation was nice but cruise was full of babies and pregant people and getting AF on 2nd day sucked balls.  to top it off we made friends with a recently married couple and hung out with them a lot, she's KU, honeymoon baby, it boggles my mind that people have sex and get pregnant

  • I know the feeling, sweetie..I honestly can't fathom anyone getting pregnant without medical intervention. It just doesn't make sense to me how it is possible.

    Sorry there were so many babies and knocked up ladies..that's always hard. I can't believe AF came on day 2---WTF was she thinking?!?

    Work is insane. I hardly have enough time to breath. I've been there until at least 7 every night for the last 3+ weeks and there is no end in sight. 

    I was actually offered the other job and I turned it down. The salary wasn't what I was wanting, especially for the travel, and I decided I would have a really hard time doing that job at an institution I wasn't sure I believed in...if that makes sense.

    How's your little furmonster doing? Was he so excited to see you when you got home?

  • oreo's greeat, he was so excited to see us :)  i miss him so much.  he's at my parent's still, we're doing a bunch of house stuff this week, painting, boxing stuff for storage, etc

    so, we left him there so he wouldn't get into the paint, he loves to cause trouble :)

    sorry job didn't work out cutie, i hope something better comes along very soon

  • I said raspberry cheesecake. That sounds really good. That or the other cheesecake. It seems light and airy.

    Everything sounds really good!

  • Thanks, ladies! About 90% of the recipes in my google reader are desserts and since I never make that stuff to have around the house, I go a bit nuts when I have an excuse to make desserts :)

  • Lemon blueberry cheesecake bars sound amazing- that's my vote

    Side note- have you been able to find canned pumpkin anywhere?  where?

    Wormsie-  I'm sorry you are having a bad IF day.  *Hugs*

    I hope that you were still able to enjoy your cruise despite all of that.

    I'm sorry hon. That's no fun. My family never took us on a cruise, so I am always amazed at all the people and small kids. When we went to Alaska it was filled with kids. I heard it would be all old people.

    Sorry you are having a bad time. People don't know how easy they have it. DH wanted to wait 6 months after we were married so we had some time for us. Now it's been almost 4 years being married. I want a honeymoon baby.

    I'm sure he was so excited! My dogs are all nuts tonight...is it a full moon or something? They are seriously being weird..! 

    It must be so nice to have family so close to watch Oreo! Our friends that recently moved to Texas would watch our dogs sometimes but I don't really trust anyone else down here with them...
