There really is just something special about pumpkin pie. It is the symbol of the holidays. Halloween, thanksgiving and Christmas - oh, and Doug's birthday! I stopped everything last night, put it all on hold, and made a quickie pie and let it bake while I took a much needed shower (multitasking at it's finest.) It was the perfect breakfast for a sleepy workaholic, and I enjoyed it with the tiniest dab of cream. Don't tell anyone! My stomach was super bummed, but I loved every second of it.
The leaves are all changing here in Tennessee, and the temperature is dropping. I prefer coffee to coke, and comfort food is key. I can't wait for Thanksgiving to get here. We'll be in Florida, where it won't really be fall, but will be with both of our families for an entire week. I have a feeling there will be more pumpkin pies in our coming future though. Don't worry about that.
Do you have a favorite holiday dessert? I have a handful more that I'll be pulling out of the back of my brain for the next few months that surely bring good memories.
Love,

Sweet potato pie is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteyou know a way to this southern girls heart. sweet potato pie is amazing.
DeleteUm, yum!! I LOVE pumpkin pie! Chad isn't crazy about it though and I can't have Gluten so these days pumpkin pie hasn't been in my life nearly enough. I want to try to make mini pie in a jar! i feel like then I could make just enough for myself and freeze extras for whenever I want...which is always. ;) You're so awesome Beca...seriously.

DeleteSo yum! i love pumpkin pie but my flatmate ain't a fan! Oddly since turning 25 i've been going off sweet things (very strange)
ReplyDeleteI think you are a perfect example of how being busy makes you do more. The pace of life is faster and therefore pie gets made even quickly.

A few years ago, I was working in a bakery in Tucson, and it was the day before Thanksgiving. I got to work at 4:30am, and left at 4pm. I made 34 pumpkin and pecan pies that day. I could make pumpkin pie in my sleep now. and it's still my favorite!
Deleteyour just amazing working that hard! and still you manage to blog loads! you deserve a star, or maybe two!
