5 Ways to Glam up Your Store-Bought Pumpkin Pie!​ ✨


Hey friends❣️

I had fun with this one, hope you enjoy it (#5 made us laugh, but we all gobbled it down!)


5 Ways to Glam up Your Store-Bought Pumpkin Pie!

I'm off to about 3 different grocery stores today plus a bakery to gather my ingredients. My menu is, roughly:

Large turkey (I wish I was doing a simple turkey breast)

Green Bean Casserole although if things get crazy that could morph into the easier Green Beans Almondine.

Butternut Squash Casserole ~ love!!

Wild Rice Salad with Cranberries which I'll make a day ahead, for sure.

Mulled Cranberry Sauce (I'm leaving out the wine in my recipe because we have kids and one non-drinker, I'll use cranberry juice.)

Molasses Cornbread which is my new fave and so perfect for the holiday.

Maple Frangipane Pecan Pie because it's insanely good and everybody demands it.


I'll see you over in the Great Island kitchen, where I'm in full holiday swing. If you've questions just hit reply here, or leave a comment on any post, I try to answer them asap, often within hours!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

no bake pumpkin pie

Hey friends❣️ Let the bird have the oven this year, these desserts don't need it! No Bake Pumpkin Mousse Pie Pumpkin mousse pie is the BEST no bake Thanksgiving dessert ~ it’s light as air with a zippy gingersnap crumb crust filled with fluffy pumpkin mousse. Personally I like it better than classic pumpkin pie, the texture is amazing.

Libby's Pumpkin Pie

Hey friends❣️ You know it, I know it, it's been around for generations. But do you really know how to get the most from your little can of pumpkin this year? Libby's Pumpkin Pie Recipe (everything the label doesn't tell you) A little tweak I'm making this year... Libby’s classic spice blend is simple ~ cinnamon, ginger, and cloves ~ and it absolutely works. But my little secret? A good pinch of ground mace (mace = the lacy outer aril surrounding the nutmeg seed.) It has a soft warm flavor,...

pecan pie bars

Hey friends❣️ I've been having a lot of fun testing your holiday cookie submissions ~ thank you! If you missed out on the fun don't worry, there'll be another challenge in December, announced, as always, right here in the newsletter. I'll be posting the winning cookie after Thanksgiving. Fresh out of the oven today: my fun pecan pie bars. Crust-a-phobes will love the easy press-in crust, and there’s not a drop of corn syrup in the filling. Pretty sweet. Pecan Pie Bars (with press-in crust and...
