Pies, Pies and More Pies


When I think about Thanksgiving one of the first things I think about is Pie! I only make them once a year and they are so good. This year Fly Guy & I made cherry, apple and a pumpkin chiffon pie. We spent Wednesday evening making pies while listening to Christmas music. I really enjoyed having Fly Guy working along side of me.....this will definitely be a new tradition. I think that I enjoy the process of making pies and decorating them because cooking everyday for the family can be a little boring at times. Occasionally it is nice to try something new and spend a little more creative time. For you cooks out there...you should try this pumpkin chiffon pie. Go to Oprah.com and look for her recipe given on a show last week. This pie is really good...I will never make a plain pumpkin pie again!!!

Those pies are beautiful! I'm bummed that I didn't get to taste them too. If this is a tradition, maybe we'll have to try and make it to Thanksgiving in California - if not just for the pies! We missed you guys. Heard it was a blast. Especially watching the "three musketeerettes" (Sydney, Abbie and Natalie)! I bet that was fun to watch.

Your Thanksgiving sounds like so much fun. I love cousin time. And your pies look amazing. We ended up going to Oregon for Thanksgiving but we'll be by next year for zip lines and pie!

I want some of the pumpkin! I saw that Oprah and it looked good then (but a little difficult to make)but hearing how much you loved it... I need a piece! YUM!!!
