I will have more photos to post after the Holiday.
I wanted to make some pie and cake this year for T-day. Usually just work, cleaning our house and prepping for T-day is enough, but I wanted to actually make something too!
It's not done yet, but this is a Cranberry tart. Same as a key lime tart, only I used cranberries. Love the color as all the T-day pies are usually a variety of brown on the plate. This should brighten it up and give us a new flavor other than spice. It would be a nice Christmas pie too. I'll decorate it with whipping cream and cranberries for the top. It also has a lemon cookie crust.
My turkey cake. I copied one from Pinterest. Not exactly twinning, but good enough! Everyone said he looks kind of special. lol.. It's a strawberry cake, with homemade strawberry filling, with whipped cream added in white chocolate pudding and flavored some with coco and the other food coloring /plain. So its lighter then butter cream., but the pudding adds stability to the whipping cream. The only thing I didn't make from scratch was the cake, it was a mix. I know strawberry isn't t-day flavors but again wanted some other flavor besides spice!
The kids made a few pies too. Celina did a turtle pecan pie and I think Logan's was a traditional pecan. Celina also made a sweet potato pie and then Logan also made some homemade rolls.
Steve is cooking a turkey and ham. We will have mashed potatoes, brussle sprouts, sweet potatoes, carrots, and stuffing. I'm assuming we will have a cheese platter for before dinner? I should make some crackers!!
All I need to do today is clean up the kitchen, set the table, bring up the extra table, vacuum the floor and take a shower/get ready.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
