Today was another fun appearance on The Morning Brew show on our Fox Local44 television station! I joined Amanda Lindquist, Brittney Hibbs and Megan Carpenter to share ideas for Thanksgiving Pies! And I was expertly assisted by my enthusiastic, roadie son who woke up early on his first day of school vacation to help me lug and stage all kinds of pies. What a sweetie!
In the first segment I shared two whole pies: Chocolate Caramel Pie and Sweet Potato Pie. I was especially anxious about the Sweet Potato Pie because Amanda grew up in the South and loves this pie. Thankfully I got her stamp of approval, and Brittney and Megan’s too! Here is the video of the first Thanksgiving Pie segment:
In the second half, I shared three kinds of hand pies. Not typical for Thanksgiving, but they can be a fun way to present the classic pie flavors. And individual pies means more buttery, flaky crust for everyone! My varieties include Pumpkin Cranberry Hand Pies, Cherry Hand Pies, and a savory sort for the days following Turkey Day: Thanksgiving Leftovers Hand Pies, with mashed potato, gravy, turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce all in one pocket! Here is part 2 of the Thanksgiving Pie segment:

Glad to hear the segment went so well.
We got three pies from Poorhouse Pies this year: pumpkin, apple and… mincemeat. The baker was quite charmed by our mincemeat order. She makes a mincemeat pie for her father every year and was excited to see anyone else order one.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
Oh yum! My grandmother made mincemeat this year too, but I didn’t get to try a slice. How was it? Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
I liked it. I don’t think I’d ever had mincemeat pie before. Pumpkin’s still my favorite.
