Stuffed pork loins w/ mash potatoes

Another super duper scrumptious holiday meal that makes me wish we were in Sacramento more often. :D As usual, the foods are to die for!

Homemade Pumpkin Pies!

God I love pies, especially the homemade ones! To take something grown from earth such as this cute lil pie pumpkin and make it into something soooooooo deliscious, I LOVE IT!!! 

Rinse your pumpkin, cut in half or more pieces if necessary, remove seeds and stringy stuff, then either bake til soft or place in microvable dish with a bit of water in it and microwave for 15 minutes on high. 

 This is pumpkin puree. (What a beautiful fall colour!)

Making the pie crust from scratch as well. It's so easy. Follow this recipe.

 Looks store bought, yes?

This looks like crap, but it includes the pumpkin puree and all the other spices and milk and eggs and stuff. Good stuff!

TA-DA! The end result is two of these scrumptious tasting, savory smelling yumm-i-licious treat!

The recipe for this bad baby can be found here.

Update: By Friday, 10/28, we've already ate one and two-thirds of the pies for 3 persons. So sad....
