However, from the end of November to the end of December may be my favorite time of the year.
I love the holidays. We are in full gear for Thanksgiving and have even started a little for Christmas :-)
We have four Thanksgiving meals over the next three days and today I began baking. This morning, I whipped up pumpkin pies, pecan pies, and sweet potato casserole. Tim says my pecan pie is the best. Ever. I have to say that it is very, very good.
Pecan pie is my most favorite pie.
Another pie is high up on the list too-- pumpkin pie.
1 can pure pumpkin
1 can evaporated milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp cloves
2 9-inch unbaked pie shells/crusts
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Thoroughly blend all ingredients and pour into pie crusts. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake 40-50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
I LOVE the ornaments your kids painted! Where did you find those?! Brighton would love to do that (and maybe even the kids in my class)!
