Easy As Pumpkin Pie
Today was a great Sunday! Friends over in the morning for coffee, laughter while watching Comedians In Cars Drinking Coffee, and intense yelling action while watching football; YEA GIANTS!
Now on to the recipe:
I didn’t make a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving (like planned), I made cupcakes (surprise!). Duane bought the ingredients for me to make a pie before Thanksgiving but due to insufficient time (somewhat holiday laziness) and lack of a pie pan, the pie was not made. Between Thanksgiving and yesterday, I bought pie pans and last night Duane asked if I was going to make the pie sometime soon. The fact that Duane wanted me to make a treat for him, I decided to make it that night.
My library friend who I brought pumpkin cupcakes to on Thanksgiving.
Picture taken my last day at the FO branch.
This is not the pie recipe that I was planning to make on Thanksgiving…that pie recipe disappeared. I re-pinned it, but the site was no longer available :(. This alternate recipe is just as good. I found it on Allrecipes.com but made a few changes to it.
Giants throw-back
What a great win today against Tenn!
I hope you enjoy this easy pumpkin pie recipe!
BTW: tomorrow is my first official day in my new position at my new branch! I am so nervous!!!
