I usually host thanksgiving and this year we just decided to cater instead. However I make and AMAZING pumpkin cheesecake. I'm wondering if I could make it this weekend and freeze it until T-day. Thoughts?
Should be fine. And you're really not going to be freezing it for that long.

@babymama619- shouldn't you know about this if you're a nanny?? I know that it is something I would make sure my nanny knew to do... Not only that, but I would expect cheesecakes every day! Different sizes and flavors...
Also, because I'm nosy... who are you hosting Thanksgiving with anyway? For some reason I thought you lived overseas... do they celebrate Thanksgiving over there?
@katie.725 1. I'm a lazy ass nanny right now. We actually had McDonald's for luch yesterday. 2. After I posted this I remembered the frozen cheesecake section-duh. 3. Nope, not over seas, I'm from and live outside of Chicago. I did live in France for a while, so maybe I mentioned that at some point.
