Cherry Pie - I bought two cans of Oregon Tart Cherries and used the recipe on the label (which was the same as the one my MIL sent me)How was your day? What food did you make and how did it all turn out? Don't you just love the smells of baking? Ummy, ummy!

You are amazing! They all look wonderful!!
I think I want to come to a buffet at your house!
OK I made Lion House rolls from scratch for Thanksgiving (not from the box mix). I never make rolls for thanksgiving. Since Nick did almost all of the other cooking it didn't seem overwhelming. I got some pictures of Dan helping me. I will post on our online photo album soon. I captured Sam helping Nick with the apple pie as well. Everything was delicious. I mostly care about the stuffing rolls and potatoes. Bring on the carbohydrates! I made the stuffing from scratch as well - broke up the pieces of old bread etc. mixed the spices etc. just like my mom did. FUN I also cooked fresh pumpkin pie from the pie pumpkin Sam picked as his Halloween pumpkin this year. The boys have been asking for several weeks - when are you going to make pumpkin pie from that? SO then I did and Dan took one bite and about gagged. However, today the pie was tastier and he ate an entire piece. Go figure. Kids - I love them.
Sooooooo delicious! Thank you thank you!
