Happy Thanksgiving!

Since I couldn't source canned pumpkin here (I admit it - it's easier after all!!) - I resorted to making pumpkin pie from scratch. First step - cook the pumpkin

Post cooking and food processing - all smooth and ready to be mixed up!

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the nicest looking pies (this one got a bit bubbly looking) but wow did they taste nice! I made a ginger cookie base and I think everyone enjoyed it :)

Yummm I loved whipped cream - it really makes this pie!

I also made a 'stuffing loaf' to go on our turkey sandwiches (because our picnic was at the beach we couldn't have anything hot). I added pine nuts, crushed up walnuts, and dried cranberries and it was SO yummy!

Getting ready for the day! Genna still in her pjs and Mommy arranging stuff on the phone!

All set up at the beach - Me, Murray & Chris
