Growing your own food, or helping grow it like we do with Mick’s parents, means there is usually plenty to go around. We put up all we can by canning, pickling, and freezing. But, not all of it gets put up. I love to…

Have some Thanksgiving leftover’s? Here’s a great new pot pie that you prepare in one pan. It’s quick and easy, taking the flavors of Thanksgiving and giving them a twist. Recipe link in profile. #thanksgiving #leftovers #turkey #potpie #newrecipe #recipedevelopment
Chocolate coconut cream pie Crust 2 Oreo Cookie Pie Crusts Custard 2 cups whole milk 1/2 cup sugar 5 egg yolks 1/2 cup all purpose flour 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 1/4 cup heavy cream 1 cup shredded coconut 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Topping 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 cup confectioners sugar 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips To prepare custard Bring the whole milk to a simmer, being careful not to scald milk. Cream sugar and egg yolks. Add flour and salt, then whisk in heavy cream. When milk has come to a simmer, slowly stream in hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking vigorously, being careful not to scramble the eggs. When fully incorporated, pour the mixture back in the pot and return to the heat. Whisk continuously as it thickens. When custard is thick enough to hold in the whisk, remove from heat. Set the pan in a bowl of ice to cool down while whisking in the coconut, coconut extract, and vanilla. When custard has cooled and thickened even more, separate it into both pie crusts. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Before serving, whip the whipping cream on high speed. Add the vanilla, then the confectioners sugar by the spoonful until all is incorporated and cream stiffens. Spread on each pie and top with a scattering of mini chocolate chips. #recipe #coconutcreampie #chocolate
I got a message from my Aunt earlier today to wish us a Happy Thanksgiving and I replied with a picture of this bowl. It belonged to my grandparents. They had an entire set of this pattern. Nearly every meal we had at their house included some of it. Nearly 30 years ago they brought some food or sent food back in this bowl and it never made it back to their house. When we cleaned out my parents house, this was one of the few things I wanted. I told her it has been on my table for every holiday since. Today we served mashed potatoes in it, something I am sure it held for many of our meals together around their table. So today I am thankful for the family that I came from and thankful for the family I’ve built myself. It feels good to bring the two together. #family #memories #mashedpotatoes #traditions
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you day is full of family, friends, food, and fun! #thanksgiving #thankful #food #family #friends
The bird is done. The ham is cooked. The cakes are iced. Now for a new pie! I always try one new recipe each holiday. This one will be a chocolate coconut pie. Wish me luck! #thanksgiving #cooking #turkey #ham #holiday
