So I thought I would share my pumpkin pie recipe with y’all. It is wonderful, easy and tastes perfect every time.
Step one involves getting into my carbon powered vehicle and driving to my locally owned grocery store. (Does that count as local?)
When I am there I purchase a Marie Callender’s pie, which isn’t a local company, but it was originally started by a lady in California, so at least it sorta came from my side of the Mississippi.
Then read the directions, turn on the oven and pop it in for the allotted time.
At least it was baked in my oven.
And, if you are a food snob like me try to not read the ingredients.
Soy? I mean really, which of our grandmothers put soy in their pies! So much for whole foods…oh wait, I wasn’t going to look.
Pack it away in the refrigerator until it is time to be served.
I will add a dollop of whipped cream from Jersey cows that graze on grass year round (or hay in the winter, no corn, soy or animal by-products for these lucky gals) on a little farm in Redmond Utah, about a hundred miles south of my (according to locavores, people who only eat local foods, 100 miles is an acceptable distance) city. This milk is unprocessed, no pasteurisation and is loaded with vitamin A and B and enzymes, that are normally not present in corn fed and pasteurized milks.
So I guess my pie sorta, kinda, qualifies in a round about way.
Oh, but they are yummy!
What is your favorite pie, and do you make it from scratch or take the cheater way like I do.
I love this post! You always make me laugh and I love your blog. And basically I love you. I hope your Thanksgiving is great!!
Too funny! We are apple and peach pie fans here and pies are one thing I have to do from scratch. Although I admit to buying frozen pies if there is a good deal…especially Marie Callendar's.
I do a mix of homemade pies and frozen pies 🙂 I usually buy my pumpkin pie from like Costco or somewhere LOL
My family will not eat pies from the store, they have to be homemade and made from scratch.
We do not have a favorite; each year we make pecan and pumpkin and sometimes we make lemon meringue or apple too.
I was caught between laughing and crying at your post as I look around at our remodeling chaos which is currently spread out all over our home and will soon take out the almost nothing from scratch Thanksgiving dinner to heat up:)
We are having a apple cranberry walnut pie that promises it is the winner of some National Pie championship…hope it is good!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
Blessings, Aimee
My idea of homemade pies include pie filling and store bought graham cracker crusts. Thankfully this year my BIL made homemade pumpkin cheesecake (I know what I'll be serving from now on!).
Oh Aimee, you got me laughing with this one. Mostly out of relief because I thought you were going to share some wonderfully homemade organic pumpkin pie recipe and just make me feel bad for being lazy and serving a store bought pie this year. The same one actually.
I usually do make homemade pumpkin pie but not this year.
Good day !.
