A Pie Per Week: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Pies!

Brian:  With Thanksgiving happening this week, we thought it would be a good time to assemble some of our favorite pies of the year and share them with our family.  We celebrated this year in Bloomington, there was lots of great food, and I sampled my first ever deep fried turkey.

Angie:  One of the pies we knew we wanted to make again was our Caramel Apple Cranberry pie.  It was so good!

Brian:  Making Buttermilk pie again was a must.  I even convinced my mother to make it, it is so delicious and so simple to make!

Buttermilk is a key ingredient to buttermilk pie

Angie:  When we made brown sugar pie, we noticed how much it tasted like pecan, but the flavor wasn't as buttery.  We made a decision, right then and there, to try it with pecans on Thanksgiving.  We ended up having some extra  brown sugar filling, so we turned that into a plain brown sugar pie.

Brian:  I don't like pecan pie, but I loved the brown sugar pie version.  We also wanted to bake our streusel topped pumpkin, but this time we included the walnuts.  I have to say, both Angie and I preferred it without the walnuts, so sometimes an error is bliss.  :)

Angie:  We ended our week watching the annual lighting of the circle in downtown Indianapolis.  Brian's office is downtown, and the company is always kind enough to allow us to view the tree lighting in the building, where it is nice and warm.

Brian:  We had a wonderful weekend, and the pies turned out great.  What pies did you make?  We'd love to hear from you, so feel free to comment if you would like to share.

Santa is an IU fan!  See!


Angie:  Our pie recipients of the week were our family this week.  We hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving, and that you were able to share some good times and good pie.
