Real Pumpkin Pie

November 26, 2014 by Kristin

Homemade Pumpkin Pie

Not that pie made with canned pumpkin isn’t real pumpkin pie… But pie made with fresh pie pumpkins is most certainly the way pumpkin pie was intended to be made.  And it’s the way I intend to make my pumpkin pies as long as pie pumpkins are in reach.

Pie Crust

The process of roasting the pie pumpkins added about ten minutes of active kitchen time and an hour of inactive kitchen time to the process, but the smell of your home and the wow from the crowd is totally worth it.

Fresh Pumpkin

Fresh pumpkin, fresh ginger, specialty spices – this pie is worthy of being renamed a pumpkin spice pie.  And I just can’t wait to serve this pumpkin spice pie for the third time this week!

Happy Gobble Gobble Day!!!

November 24, 2011 by Kristin

Whoop, it’s almost that time!  I love, love, love Thanksgiving for a ton of reasons, but mostly for getting to eat dinner as a family, that start of cooler weather, and lots and lots of side dishes.  Little bites of lots of food makes me a happy, happy turkey!

I knew exactly which cookbook I wanted to bake from this year.  I pulled Terry Walters Clean Food off of the cookbook shelf and flipped to the fall table of contents.  It was a toss up between two butternut squash recipes, but ultimately, the Butternut Squash Casserole won.

I’m such a sucker for simple ingredients!

The recipe was a little more labor intensive that I had anticipated – LOTS of chopping.  However, if I hadn’t doubled the recipe, I don’t think it would have been that bad.

The casserole was sizzling its little heart out when I pulled it out of the oven.  I sampled a piece and thought it was tasty.  I had my uncle give it a whirl and he suggested that I add a little salt.  It’s amazing what the tiniest bit of salt can do! The maple syrup and cider bump up the natural sweetness of the squash just a notch, the red onion adds tang, and the toasted almonds add texture.  Overall, I think this dish comes together quite nicely!

I do not think this recipe stands a chance in being the favorite amongst all of the over-sweetened, over-creamed, over-salted dishes that dominate a traditional Thanksgiving Day table; however, if I were completely in charge of a holiday menu, I wouldn’t think twice about including this casserole again.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families!
