Hey remember that time I dropped the whole mixing bowl into the pie crust I was trying to fill? It seems like it just happened. Oh wait, thats probably because it did just happen. Just kidding! But for a split second I was afraid it was going too!
Autumn is here. The world has begun it's annual pumpkin craze and so have Layla and I. The first pumpkin treat we chose to make were classic pumpkin pies. There was no scraping out pumpkin guts for these girls, though . We made them from a can. Well, two cans actually, one thirty ounce can of Libby's easy pumpkin pie mix and half a twelve ounce can of carnation evaporated milk. Also, two eggs and a crust that you unroll from a box.
I know your grandma is probably turning over in her grave at the thought of not baking from scratch, but its ok. These weren't her pies and I have no problems taking a shortcut sometimes. Our home still smells as wonderful as if I had started these pies from scratch and each slice taste will taste just as delicious. Especially the piece I'm going to have for breakfast tomorrow. (Don't lie, you know you've had pie and coffee as a 'healthy' breakfast before too).
Even Layla couldn't wait to try the pumpkin pie. I caught her with her finger it it soon after I set it out too cool.
