Take this list with you to the grocery store. We’ve organized it by category to make shopping as quick and easy as possible. (We assume you have granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pepper, so they are not on the list—and anything that’s denoted for the homemade Pumpkin Ice Cream isn’t necessary if you’re using purchased ice cream.) Our menu serves 12, so adjust amounts accordingly if you’re having a huge crowd and need to double recipes.
