Super Easy Pie Crust (and Pumpkin Pie)
When I found this recipe for pie crust on Pinterest, it seemed too good to be true. You mean to tell me that I can make a pie crust with four ingredients, without rolling it out, in the pie plate?? Why yes. Yes you can. When I first read that this crust was made with oil instead of butter, I was slightly put off. I put butter in everything! But I figured I’d give it a shot. To my pleasant surprise, this crust was good and flakey. To say I’m thrilled about this pie crust would be the understatement of the year. I stopped buying store-bought pie crusts a while…

Pumpkin Raisin Bread
It was time to check off my next milestone of the almost-fall: making something with pumpkin. After a near meltdown at Publix over my inability to locate pumpkin on the shelf and the associate’s misinformation about the availability of said pumpkin, all was resolved and I left satisfied with my two cans of Libby’s. I was craving some pumpkin bread and luckily I was able to make it happen this morning. I decided to look for a recipe with raisins because my boys love them (especially Beckett)! I found a recipe on Pinterest that was mostly what I was looking for but I made a couple of modification. It appeared…
