Turkey Day is All About Pie

If there ever was a holiday that is all about pies, it's Thanksgiving. Cupcakes, you are not invited. Step off.

Tuesday and Wednesday was a complete wingding-tacular bakefest. I've whipped up eight pies for the holidays...three for family, five for other peeps who just plain ol' love pies and didn't want to bake them. (Again, that's where I come in.)

So, I knocked out:
3 pumpkin pecan pies (Side note: I added a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and a 1/4 teaspoon for nutmeg to this recipe. Makes it a WHOLE lot better for those of us who like it spicy.)
2 chocolate peanut butter pies
1 buttermilk pie
1 pecan pie
1 pumpkin pie

No fails. 

Oops...one more...a mini-pumpkin pie for my littlest pumpkin who will be turning one on Nov. 30. Celebrating early and often. Don't worry folks, I won't deprive him of cake. He'll get one later to faceplant in.

Here's a pic of some of the pies I made...boxed up and ready to go! And, here are the yummy pies for tonight's family feast. Nosh, nosh, nosh. Wishing you a HAPPY THANKSGIVING...ya bunch of turkeys.

  1. Raimey and I made your coconut cream pie for Thanksgiving and it was delicious. The meringue got a little watery after a couple of hours, but we didn't use an egg beater or electric mixer..... So we didn't beat it hard enough I guess. It was great though, thanks for sharing the recipe, it was neat to use some of the family's recipes.
