| Keep the dessert simple because after cooking the turkey and watching all them kids you wont feel much like making pumpkin pie from scratch. get a big jar of mashed pumpkin from your local grocer. put the pumpkin in a frozen pie shell and bake it til its done. cook it through until you know its all done inside. for the kids you can smear some pumpkin from the jar onto some graham crackers and let the adults eat the pie. for clean up just put the dishes in the dishwasher if you have one. its a simple pie to make and anyone can do it. just follow the recipe and it will turn out good. just make sure you make two pies. last year I only made one pie and my husband and his brother fought over the last piece of pie, and my husband ended up winning the fight and the last piece of pie, but my brother in law got hurt over the whole thing. if you cant make at least two pies you shouldn't eat a piece for yourself in case someone else might want that last piece. sacrificing a slice for yourself sure beats someone getting upset because they didn't get an extra piece. |
