Oh my......pie!




I've spent most of this day in the kitchen baking pies. I had a few errands to run before and after, but there are done. I didn't end up making an apple pie this year, but I did make 2 pumpkin, 2 pecan, 1 cherry cream, 1 strawberry cream, 1 banana cream, 1 chocolate cream and 1 crustless pumpkin dessert. Plus I made 80 deviled eggs. Cole helped a little with squirting in the filling. He likes that part. I discovered that the back of my oven cooks hotter, so the pies that were back there got darker...they will still taste yummy though. I'm thinking that there will be pie in Heaven because it's so darn good...."deviled" eggs...probably not. They get a bad wrap from their name. :o) Tomorrow I only need to make cream corn and sweet potatoes...easy enough!
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and really enjoy the special time that you have with your families. I'm sure I'll be taking pictures to share....and remember to count your blessings and keep gratitude in your heart! (((HUGS)))

I gained about 10 lbs. just looking at those pictures! I guess I'll have to find a way to "release" them!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm so impressed!!! You're invited to have Thanksgiving here with us next year if you bring the pies!!! They look wonderful!!!

Your deviled eggs look yummy too. I have one of those Pampered Chef things but can never seem to make them look pretty like yours when I use it. So I end up just doing them the old fashioned way.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful blessed Thanksgiving. When I count my blessings today I want you to know you will be included. It has been such a delight getting to know you through our "blogs".
