One of Our Favorites

I started cooking for Thanksgiving today. Our holiday won’t be as big this year because of Covid 19, but I intend to prepare all of our old favorite foods, and those of us who are together can be thankful for each other.

I made my pumpkin pies today. I just don’t think it would be Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie. I have a special recipe that I use each year, and everyone does seem like it very much. I thought I’d share the recipe with you. Give it a try sometime. I think you’ll like it
