Good morning everyone! I hope your Thanksgiving was full of thanks and spent with your loved ones as opposed to sitting in a tent in front of a store waiting to get a bargain. Where are the priorities? Time spent with loved ones can never be measured in dollars. But that's just my opinion and as a bargain shopper, I can certainly understand the hype and we all make our own choices. So live and let shop!
My hub and I cooked and we just had my mom over. Casual. This year I decided to MAKE a pumpkin pie from scratch because the hub and I are trying to keep things low carb and this recipe was 4 carbs per slice as opposed to 20.
It was fairly easy... Made the pie crust out of chopped walnuts and had the filling in. Looking good!
Then I realized I forgot to add the Splenda and had to scoop it back out...
So I added the Splenda, poured it back in and baked it...
It looked pretty good too!
And tasted just as yummy!
All in all, it was a nice meal without any negativity and we all waddled away with full bellies. After mom left, the hub and I donned our elastic waist PJs and watched Planes, Trains & Automobiles. We have made it our tradition to watch this movie on Thanksgiving. If you've never seen it, put it on your list. It's great for a chuckle while eating that second piece of pie...
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Were there any cooking snafus this year or in year's past that you look back on now and laugh about??
My husband and I also try to keep a handle on our carbs. Nothing puts on weight faster than the white stuff (flour, sugar, salt, etc)!
ReplyDeleteThe pie looks delicious! ~Serene
Hey girl, sounds like you two kids had the perfect Thanksgiving. Congrats on making that delish looking pie. I will put the movie on my list. I need a good chuckle. I wanted to go to Macy's at midnight for black fri. but I changed my mind and went to bed. See you this weekend. Dawn Suitcase Vignettes xo
