That's okay. I'll just stick with the great holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Speaking of Thanksgiving....it's so one of my favorite holidays. I love the feeling of warmth and yummy smells and family gathered around. What Thanksgiving traditions do you have at your house?
One of ours is a pie. Squash pie. It's the queen of the gourd pies. My sister-in-law Jennifer and I can eat an entire pie just standing at the counter and chatting. I'm serious. So here's our secret Elton Family Recipe:
SQUASH PIE
1 pie shell
1 1/2 c cooked and mashed hubbard squash
1 c sugar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 c evaporated milk
1/4 c milk
1 T melted butter
1 t vanilla
1 t cornstarch (dissolved in milk)
instructions:
Mix together ingredients and pour into pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.
That's it. Add a dollup of fresh whipped cream and YUM. Do you have a secret family recipe?
Happy fall day!

Lovely recipe! Thanks! I don't like Halloween, either. Never have.
ReplyDeleteI liked Halloween when my kids were young, but when they outgrew trick-or-treating I kinda let it go...have never enjoyed the 'costume' thing, although I love seeing the creative efforts of others. This year, however, my friend who is a Halloween FANATIC held a party, and we really had fun. May rethink the holiday!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pie sounds delish!!! Thanks for the recipe!
You are the cutest Amanda! I still LOVE you even though you are a disliker of my FAVORITE holiday!
