Happy Thanksgiving week! Before I sign-off for the holiday, here are a few of the recipes I’m hoping to squeeze in this week. Above, a Seckel Pear Tart from Gourmet.

Sweet Potato Casserole Cookie Bars from Pink Parsley.

Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Pie from Martha Stewart.

Pancetta and Porcini Potato Gratin from Closet Cooking.

Pumpkin Mac & Cheese from Closet Cooking.

I’m also making my own pumpkin puree for the first time. It’s surprisingly easy. You can find the instructions here.
