Winter Cake

I saw a picture of a beautiful wedding cake and so I thought that would be a nice cake for winter time. So here it is, not great as the one I saw but the family and neighbors enjoy it.

A New Leftover

On Fri. night I took the leftover turkey and made my turkey enchiladas. Saturday night we pulled out everything and ate most of that. Thrus. night, their were 8 of us and on Fri., Sat. 10 of us, so there wasn't much after that to have as leftovers. But.....we did have left over sweet potatoes.

I make my sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving, with the potatoes and some apples with a little water and baked until tender. I don't do the added sugar or marshmallows anymore, as no ones eats them but me. So, I cook them for me. The marshmallow got eaten but not the potatoes. Anyway, I took the leftover and pureed them and looked up a recipe for sourdough biscuits and added the puree and now we have sweet potato biscuits. The kids love them! Yeah, now I don't have to eat the leftovers by myself. They went really well with some chile, I made up.

Pictures from our Thanksgiving week-end

Here are some pictures, not many, that we took during our 4-day week-end. My neice and nephew were able to come up on Fri, Sat. We played alot of board games while they were here, what fun! My neice also surprised me with a little 2-cup pitcher she had made in her pottery class. I like it!

Here is a picture of my granddaughter.

White Pumpkin Pie

I haven't blogged for awhile, as I don't know where to start. So here goes.....

I cooked up 3 white pumpkins last week and found out their meat was also white. (Most of the past white pumpkin I have bought has the orange meat inside and makes better pies, so I was surprised to find white meat.) I usually buy one white pumpkin and one orange. This year after Halloween the white was on sale for $1.10 each, so I got 2 along with the one I already had. I went online to see if the white meat was edible and found it was, so for Thanksgiving we had one white and one orange pumpkin pie. I froze the rest for later use. There so much to do with pumpkin that I thought I would spread it out over the year.

Here are the pictures of the two pies. Soren, my grandson, made the orange pie this year. He has helped to make pies the last couple of years. Since their was a little extra orange mixture, we decided to marble it into the white pie.

They both tasted great!
