It's that time of year, time to stock up on the pumpkin puree at the grocery store! I did this week, and ever since I can't stop thinking about pumpkin pie! I know we will have our fair share of it this month, but I had some kitchen helpers this afternoon to help me make our first one of the season.
I am
not a seasoned pie maker by any means. I would like to be and I think all it would take is some practice. I usually choose to buy the pre-made frozen crusts and save myself the frustration of the crust not turning out. Well, today I didn't feel like making a trip to the store and the recipe said
no fail so I figured I'd give it a whirl.

The finished crust. Didn't turn out too bad huh?
About an hour later, viola, it was done. Made the house smell wonderful, hope it tastes good too! I just used the Libby's recipe online. We didn't have evaporated milk on hand, but it says you can heat up 2 1/4 cups of milk and heat it down to 1 cup and use that instead, so we will have to see if it worked!
We've spent much of the day getting a jump start on this busy month ahead. Planning for birthdays and holiday celebrations, a little bit of online Christmas shopping, and designing Christmas cards. Call me crazy, but I like to have a lot of these things lined up so the holidays aren't quite so hectic. Randy and Nolan are out hunting so we hope they get something big!! |
