It’s cold. Like really cold. All the time now. I’m kind of being a baby about it. I wear about 4 layers, wrap myself in a fleece blanket, and sip on hot chocolate. I’m pretty comfortable by then, but I still like to give my fiance a little grief about it. Someone help me.
Turkey day is less than three weeks away. Like woah…this holiday season is already flyiiing. Its my favorite time of year though so I love it! I’m already contemplating switching over my Fall decor for Christmas Decor…to early? I don’t think so, If I’m already drinking eggnog, thinking about what colors to decorate the tree this year, and hearing Christmas music in the stores, than I vote its not to early!
Speaking of voting. Tomorrows the big day. Ill be happy when all these political commercials are off my TV.
We are due in less than two months..scarrrry. I wish I could say I feel ready, I don’t. I’m not. Haallllp.
So Pie. Classic Pumpkin Pie. I have never been a fan, I avoid it every year like the plague. (I’m not a big pie girl in general) But its one of my fiances absolute favorites. So I gave in and whipped one up. Lets just say Im a convert, shall we? This pumpkin pie is freakin’ awesome. The spices, and flavors, combined with the soft texture and flaky crust..it.was.awesome.
I officially like pumpkin pie…well this one anyway. It came together in a snap! Literally, you mix all the ingredients together in a blender and voila! So easy & quick! Bake it up, Dollop with some whipped cream and you are good to go! We’re hosting Thanksgiving Dinner this year, and this baby will be on the dessert menu!
Enjoy! Happy Monday!
