Even though my favorite holiday pies involve Pumpkin and Bourbon (no brainer) or Sweet Potato and Pecans (two pies in one!) you can’t beat the ease of the classic holiday pumpkin pie. And the Libby’s pumpkin pie recipe on the back of the can is as classic as you can get. Here it is, with …
I love soup. I eat soup for lunch almost every day, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. There’s something so satisfying in this steaming bowl of broth, cooked vegetables, meats and just plain nourishment for the soul.
