Nana's Perfect Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Pumpkin pie!! I eat the whole Thanksgiving meal just to get to the pumpkin pie. Pie is a great thing to make with the grands. It seems so hard, but is really quite easy, especially pumpkin pie as it is a one crust pie and the filling ingredients are all mixed together in one bowl.
Simple Fall or Thanksgiving Table Decorations
Setting the table for Thanksgiving can be as simple or as fancy as you wish. Papa’s family often makes little favors for a holiday meal and sets them by each person’s plate. I love the idea, but don’t always get it done. And then came the idea for these easy Thanksgiving or Fall Table Decorations- they are just right!
How To Make Pumpkin Puree and Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
So, I’m one of those people that love the pumpkin pie, desserts and muffins that come in the fall. I hadn’t made pumpkin puree and roasted pumpkin seeds for several years and thought the grands may be surprised that you could actually cook a pumpkin and not just make it into a jack-o-lantern! This is one of those things that definitely looks harder than it is. Pumpkin doesn’t have to come from a can and you don’t have to be Betty Crocker to make your own pumpkin puree!

Woodland Owl Pumpkin Carving Deluxe
What’s Halloween without a carved pumpkin on the porch? Try a chiseled technique for a new twist to pumpkin carving and an extra challenge for the older grands.
I’ve been wanting to try this for a while and I must say, although it was a bit more complicated to do then a traditional carved jack-o-lantern, it was a blast!
My Blessings Tree Thanksgiving Craft
Thanksgiving is a special holiday in the United States. But it’s easy to skip the “Thanks” part and skip right to the “Giving” part as Christmas approaches.
Want a way to nurture thankfulness in your grands and in yourself? Let’s make a My Blessings Tree!
Yummy Caramel Apple Slices on a Stick
I love homemade caramel apples, but they are so messy and are too big to eat all at once! I wanted to make a few this fall but knew that the kids wouldn’t be able to eat a whole one and it would get all over everywhere - these were the solution! I guess you could call these creations caramel applesicles or caramel apple pops!
