Cakes & Pies!

Oh boy.. I do love getting the chance to try new recipes. This Thanksgiving has turned into the Season of Pies. In the next week, I will attempt 5 different pies (well 4 pies, 1 cheesecake, and a set of 2 dozen dinner rolls). When I asked what I could bring for both of the celebrations we are attending... I was given the task of bringing pies to both! And then I decided that while I was at it, we would deliver one to some friends that may need a lift this holiday season.

Here is the plan:
*Thursday dinner at my Aunt's
-- Dutch Apple Pie (E prefers the crumbly top)
--Traditional Apple Pie (I'm all about the double crust-thus two different apple pies..)
*Thursday - deliver to a friend's T-giving
--Dark Chocolate Pie (similar to French Silk Pie)
*Saturday dinner at the in-laws
--Pumpkin Cheesecake (we were assigned to bring pumpkin pie but it isn't our favorite -- so we're bringing this as a compromise -- I am excited!)
--Pumpkin Pie
--Lion House Dinner Rolls

If the recipes go well... I'll try to post the recipes or at least where I found them. Mostly I took recipes from blogs I follow and in some cases combined many recipes to make my own. Can't do anything the easy way! :)

Wish me luck in this baking endeavor!
