Thanksgiving

Wow...what a holiday! We had the family home for awhile, and we got some work done and some catching up of our lives done and some eating...good eating! I tried out a few new ideas...a little bit different from the norm and it worked. Potatoe salad became garden salad; duplicated a yummy salad from D.MichaelB.'s restaurant which turned out really well; turkey in the tinfoil wrap instead of plastic bag; cranberry/orange stuffing instead of stove top; garlic mashed potatoes instead of plain m. potatoes; and even a new pumpkin pie recipe and EVERYTHING tasted delicious!!!! Amanda was a big help in the kitchen Monday morning...and a walk later helped the digestion.These are the apple, rhubarb, and pumpkin pies...I use about 3/4 of the recipe of flour as whole wheat flour and cane sugar for healthier pies. They still taste delicious!! These are pumpkin/coconut loaves...great breakfast or snack. They turned out really good.
