Easy "Pat in the Pan" Pie Crust Video

"I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving."

~ Psalm 69:30

Are you about ready? Only a few days left till Thanksgiving. Today I'm washing my table cloth and looking over my pots and pans so I know just what to cook where. Other than a last minute bathroom wipe down and a few odds and ends...I'm ready (BIG sigh of relief). I am thankful that this year things are finished early! Here's a quick pie crust recipe for those of you who may still have a lot of baking to get done...it's super easy and super fast with little or no clean up...now that's my kind of cooking mass produce with no mess!! You can also prep this recipe ahead and either keep in the fridge or freezer for future use.

(The pie guard I show in the video...I forgot to mention...but please don't throw it away! Just wipe it off and store right with your pie plates...it will last for YEARS! )

Here's what the two pies look like done. They are wrapped up with foil and frozen in the freezer now. I will just set them out early Thursday morning to thaw....we just serve at room temperature. My dear husbands Mom taught me to put a pretty nut in the center to cover up the knife mark used to test for doneness. It gives the pies a nice finished look.

I was thinking about putting up a piece of blank poster board and letting people write things they are thankful for during the party. The kids, their father and I will put a few on to start things off for everyone. I encourage you to think back over the past year about how the Lord has blessed you and your family...and then thank Him heartily and with a deep gratitude!! What traditions does your family hold dear?? Here's a bit about what Thanksgiving means for me personally...

Thoughtfulness
Happiness
Awesome family togetherness
Next generations memories
Kindness, Kindred Spirits
Salvation, Savior
Gracious giving, God's Grace
I am thankful for my family
Very generous is my Lord, VICTORY
I am thankful for all my blessings
No problem is too big for God-ever
God is SO good
I didn't post my menu cuz I'm just gonna wing it this week until Thursday! I have enough quick fix items around for the next few days and will just finish up the last bit of leftovers to have fridge space cleared up. I won't be posting anything new till after the holiday....so

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
