Crustless Pumpkin Pie


 3/4 c. sugar

1 t. cinnamon

1/2 t. salt

1/2 t. ginger

1/4 t. cloves

2 eggs

1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree

1 12 fluid oz. can evaporated milk


Butter a glass pie pan.  Preheat oven  as directed below. 

 Mix the sugar, eggs, salt,spices, and pumpkin together.  Mix in evaporate milk.  I usually use my egg beater.

Bake until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. 


9 inch glass pie pan:325 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes

10 inch glass pie pan:325 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes

 

The story on this recipe:  My husband is diabetic and loves pie.  I can make this one without feeling so guilty. I didn't look up the carbs on it but I know that it is allowed on a diabetic diet.  Maybe  not in the quantities he would like but at least he can eat with everyone else and not worry.

I made this pie to serve with roast chicken and all the trimmings.  Then I called my farmer son in law and our daughter to come eat with us.  They had been to the sale barn and came back hungry.  A win for us all.  We didn't have to eat many leftovers and they didn't have to fix their own meal.

    A sure sign of a good recipe when the dish has only one lonely piece left. We liked this recipe as I made it last year with you when you mentioned it and it is worth a repeat this year. Thanks for posting it so I can find it...have no idea “where” I saved it. This is going on our Thanksgiving celebration for sure.

    It's always interesting to see, what to do with pumpkin. No cans of pumpkin puree here, I have to cook it from scratch

    I love that you have a sweet, yet healthier, pumpkin dessert. I find that I avoid making desserts because I am trying to prevent weight gain. This is a nice option. I enjoyed reading your story related to the recipe.

      Don’t believe a word of that, Ellen is a hard working gal...she works circles around me...short cutting making a crust is just a way for her to make more things for her family! 🤗

    I love pumpkin pie. Being on KETO and needing to get my blood sugar down this looks perfect.

Shell Beans

 Hi ladies, I am not going to even attempt posting a picture right now.  Shell beans are a limited season vegetable here.  I have to watch the garden carefully to catch the beans when the seed is fully formed but not dried out yet.  Then I pick the ones who have lots of pink in them and the pod feels like there are beans in it.  Allen and I think they are a delicacy but my farmers won't even touch them.   If you are curious as to how they look google tongue of fire beans or cranberry beans.  Actually almost any bean grown for  dry beans will work.  Just pick them before they dry out.  Lima beans are a good comparison.  We generally eat those before the seed dries out. Shell beans are delicious boiled in a little water, partially drained if necessary, and then heated again with cream or milk on them,  We eat them on mashed potatoes.  If I have a great abundance of them I also put them in vegetable soup. Ulriche, my husband's family came from Germany with pea bean seed.  I grew t

Cauliflower Salad

Image
1 head cauliflower, chopped 1 c. celery, chopped 1 10 oz, pkg peas 1/4 c. sunflower hearts 1/2 c. raisins 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled (opt.) 1 c. mayonnaise 1/2 c. sugar 2 T. vinegar Combine cauliflower, celery, peas, sunflower hearts, raisins, and bacon.  Mix mayo, sugar, and vinegar and pour over cauliflower mixture. refrigerate until ready to serve. For those of you who make broccoli salad yes, this is pretty much the same.  I love broccoli salad but it doesn't like me so I substituted cauliflower and threw in some other ingredients too.  And if you are a fan of ranch dressing and you are in a hurry, you can substitute that for the mayo mixture and it is still good.
