This week’s recipe Twofer Pie was chosen by Vibi of La casserole carrée, and can be found on page 321 of Baking: From My Home to Yours. It’s the love child of pumpkin and pecan pie and I personally would rather call it Pumpcan Pie. I thought this was delicious. I don’t think I’d substitute it in for pumpkin pie and you’d be hard pressed to find me making a pecan pie on my own accord, but this was snazzy. I made little tartlets using my cupcake pan. And I’ll admit I just used a storebought crust. Things here have been crazy and I just didn’t want to mess with crust. I used a three inch circle cutter to cut out the dough and then I pressed it in, filled and put them in the oven. I did 10 minutes at 450 and then 20 at 300. It could have used another 10 minutes at 300 because the filling is very wet and not firm but I don’t really think anyone can tell. hah! And now I am very tired from a long week so I’m calling it quits. Enjoy the picture and I hope you enjoyed your pie! HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Last night I pulled out all of the ingredients to make the Pumpkin muffins. I was quite excited about this. I’ve come to love pumpkin over the last few years and last winter found myself making some pumpkin muffins out of Women’s Health magazine. For the recipe I substituted half of the flour with whole wheat flour, and I eliminated the nuts, raisins and the seeds on top. Instead I made a cinnamon brown sugar crumble with chopped pecans.
I seem to have lost the usb for my camera so as soon as I find that and figure out how to upload pics I’ll be able to show you how they turned out. Also, I’ve got pics of Dorie’ creme brulee and the chocolate-caramel peanut tart that I made to go along with pad thai on Friday. yum.
