Today I’m doing some advanced prep for my Thanksgiving dinner. As I mentioned before, I am using a little bit of an Italian theme, but today much of what I am making is going to be more traditional desserts. Can’t have too many I say, so I’m going to make five pies. I am making an apple and an apple walnut cranberry (both with streusel topping instead of a double crust), two pumpkin type pies, but I’m using other fall squash that I roasted earlier (to be fair, I’m only making the crust today and will fill these later), and a walnut (like pecan but walnut). I’ll only bake the walnut today and freeze the apple pies for baking on next wednesday or thursday. I am also planning to make some pumpkin spice ice cream. I made some sweet potato casserole Ice cream (sweet potato, walnuts, and mini marshmallows) earlier and it is good so I’ll be using that too. There is also a cranberry tiramisu that I am going to make later. Should be a pretty good dessert spread.

Also today I hope to make some pumpkin ravioli with my new pasta maker attachment for the kitchenaid. I think I can freeze these and cook them up the day of. I did it with some sweet potato gnocchi, and it turned out pretty good.

I’ll try and put all the details up on the Eat Me blog soon, for anyone who is interested.
