It isn’t Thanksgiving without Pumpkin Pie. It is one of my daughter’s favourite desserts.  She learned early to make it herself. She whips up her own batch of pastry too…that’s my girl!

Can’t wait for dinner tomorrow night!

Not sure if you noticed the Pi plate, not a typo, have a closer look. It is her favourite pie plate…that’s my girl!

Okay, so I like math!

Here’s the recipe:

Pumpkin Pie

makes 2 pies

1 790mL can of pure pumpkin

1 370mL can of evaporated milk

4 eggs

2 cups brown sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/2 tsp salt

2 pie plates, filled with pastry

Mix ingredients in large bowl. Bake at 425 degrees or 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake another 30-35 minutes until knife inserted in centre comes out clean.

A productive day…pumpkin pie, buttertarts and turkeys!

Next post I will share the buttertart recipe!

We hosted a tasty turkey dinner tonight for 12. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans with roasted almonds, sweet potatoes, corn, rolls with buttertarts and pumpkin pie for dessert. Yummy, I hope you too enjoyed a meal with your friends and family. So grateful for my life and the friends and family in it.  Happy Thanksgiving!
