What I Made for Thanksgiving, Part 1

If I’ve made a dish for the last two years in a row for Thanksgiving, doesn’t that constitute a tradition for our little family by now? Especially considering this is only our third Thanksgiving together? I think it does.

So, now Savory Pumpkin Pie is a tradition. I made it again this year because a) it rocks, and b) Uncle Tom demanded it. Well, demanded it politely. I believe his exact words were, “You’re making this every year, right?”

Except this year Uncle Tom, Aunt Raquel and the kiddos aren’t joining us, so more pie for me! Although you will be very much missed little Taylor family.

The only thing we changed about the pie this year was the kind of cheese; we switched the Gruyère and Jarlsburg for good cheddar from the co-op and grated parmesan. It’s more economical, and it tastes wonderful.

How do you know, you ask?

I know because I’m eating a piece right now that I’ve snuck out of the pie.

That’s right, it’s almost midnight before Thanksgiving, CB and I have been working hard all evening in the kitchen and none of it on dinner, and my family is laid back enough that they will just laugh when we bring the pie with two pieces missing.

Heh-heh-heh… This pie is good.

I’m also bringing The Most Amazing Baklava in the World (I’m pretty sure that’s it’s official name now) simply because…. well, it’s Amazing. ‘Nuff said.

To Be Continued….
