I’m not a fan of pumpkin pie. There–I said it–I hate pumpkin pie! I know, I know…it’s practically unAmerican, but I just don’t like it. However, the rest of my family can’t seem to get enough of it. Since I don’t want to spend hours making a full pumpkin pie, I decided I would make a mini version for them. Afterall, I do love these crazy people I call family!
I write once a month for Zak Designs blog and I created this whole Garden Party Menu for them in a series of recipes, so I thought it would be fun to add my mini-pumpkin pies to the menu.
Hubbyman thought these were the best little pumpkin pies and said they tasted just like the real thing. He’s asked me to make another batch to take to the guys that work for him.
We had so much fun hanging out with family on a cold, rainy late summer afternoon. It was seriously, so much fun to have a party for no reason at all. The kids loved all the mini foods and of course the pumpkin pies were the hit of the party! They are just way to cute on these little tasting spoons!
I’ve got more easy pumpkin recipes…go check them out.
This is not a sponsored post for Zak Designs, I just wanted to share what I’ve been up to and show off these super cute pies. I served these pies on the Fulla Leaf-Shaped Tasting Spoon Set with Tray in Flora and they were just way too cute! Although, I realize some of you will want to know what the other recipes are, so I will link to them below as they are published.
