Doodles and Pumpkin Pie


This year for Thanksgiving,
I decided to make a paper tablecloth
that we could all doodle on.
Throughout the day,
we would grab a marker
and doodle
things we were thankful for.

family
health
love
animals
school
peace
flowers
friends
home
cameras
music
Christmas
candy
birds
nail polish!

It was fun
and something I think we'll do not just at Thanksgiving,
but for many upcoming holidays.

My favorite pie is pumpkin. What's yours?



Nothing says fall like a homemade pumpkin pie. This simple yet flavorful recipe combines the richness of pure pumpkin, the warmth of spices like cinnamon and ginger, and the sweetness of maple sugar for a delicious treat. Whether you're hosting a holiday dinner or enjoying a cozy fall evening, this Pumpkin Pie is sure to impress your guests and satisfy your sweet tooth.

Recipe: Pumpkin Pie

Serves: 8

Ingredients:

1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
3/4 cup maple sugar [or use regular sugar plus 1 tablespoon maple syrup]
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs

Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, whipping cream, maple sugar (or regular sugar with maple syrup), cinnamon, ginger, salt, and eggs until smooth and fully combined.

  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into a pre-baked pie shell.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

  5. Allow the pie to cool before serving.

Happy Thanksgiving!

    Lovely photos--especially the bench and trees. I love pumpkin pie, but apple might be my favourite.
