Thanksgiving

Time of Giving

Thanksgiving. It's the time of giving. It's a holiday that people love, as family comes from far and near to celebrate together and eat delicious foods and desserts. As a non vegetarian I love my turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie covered in whipped cream. Because we are only 5 days away from Thanksgiving, I wanted to share with you all a pumpkin pie recipe that I love to make during the holidays.

Recipe:

This pie will warm everyone's hearts
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 can Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin
  • 1 can Nestle Carnation Evaporate Milk
  • 1 unbaked pie shell
  • Whipped Cream (not necessary)
(An alternative to the ground cinnamon, ginger, and cloves is to use a pumpkin spice herb mix, which contains all three of these ingredients in it)

Procedures:
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2.  Combine the sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves in a bowl and mix them together with a whisk. 
  3. Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Once beaten, stir in the can of pumpkin, mix that together, then add in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. 
  4. Once that is stirred, open the can of evaporated milk a little bit, not all the way. Slowly stir in the milk until the whole can is used up.
  5. Place your pie shell into your baking tray, and pour your filling into the pie shell.
  6. Place your tray into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  7. After the 15 minutes, keeping your pie in the oven, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and bake the pie for 40 to 50 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure the pie isn't overcooking. You will know the pie is cooked if you insert a knife into the filling and it comes out clean without any of the pumpkin filling on it.
  8. Let the pie cool once out of the oven for 2 hours. 
  9. Once cool, serve with whipped cream, or refrigerate.

I hope you guys enjoy this recipe and are using it to bake your own pumpkin pies this year, or are purchasing one from a bakery or local grocery store. I am wishing you all a great Thanksgiving, and I will be posting soon with Christmas themed recipes!

Getting Through Finals Week

As winter break is approaching and finals week is coming up, many students are stressed about how to study in order to perform successfully on their tests. Here are some tips on how to be calm, well rested, and ready for finals week. 1. Use Quizlet  - I started using Quizlet my junior year of high school, and I have used it ever since. I am now a freshman in college and I still use Quizlet for my classes. Quizlet is amazing; if you have a lot of terms you need to memorize, Quizlet is the perfect online website that will help you study those terms. Once you write in the terms and their definitions, there are a variety of options you can choose in order to study the terms, including a test, flashcards, etc. 2. Get lots of rest - Don't stay out late when you know you have a final the next day. Getting a lot of rest is beneficial if you want to perform well on a test. It does sound lame to go to sleep really early, but if you do so, your body will thank you. By going to sleep early...

Spicy Veggie Bean Chili

Since moving from my old house with a tiny, cramped kitchen to my new house with a large, open kitchen with an island, I have been meal prepping, cooking, and baking a lot more. With this, I have been keen to try new recipes! I do eat meat, but most of the time I tend to cook vegetarian and vegan meals. This vegetarian chili recipe was one that I came across while browsing for a good, hearty chili recipe, and it is so delicious I had to share it with all of you. I did not come up with this recipe myself. The lovely Shannon, with her blog "The Glowing Fridge," posted this recipe. Her website is amazing, and I highly recommend you check it out. (Also, if you are interested in more plant based recipes, take a look at Shannon's website here: https://www.theglowingfridge.com ) Ingredients: 1/3 cup vegetable broth (or 1 tbsp olive oil) - for sautéing 1 onion, diced 1/4 of a finely diced jalapeño (optional) 3 minced cloves of garlic 1 bell pepper of any color, diced 1 ...
