Create!

It seems in the moment of creating, whether it be a smile, a good story, or delicious food, we are closest to our creator, and we have the best experiences to share. This pea thinks it's most especially true when making really good food.

So, on a brisk Wednesday afternoon (yes; the weather has cooled down a bit, thank goodness!), these two silly peas decided to make their very first pumpkin pie in honor of the coming season, chocolate pie, and spanakopita. All of which was very yummy and almost entirely homemade.
 
We sauteed one head of garlic, half of an onion, and one can of spinach. When this mix was cool we added mozzarella and parmesan cheese. We cut frozen pastry dough into 36 squares, sealed some of the mix inside, and baked for about 10 minutes.
Best idea ever! We used the pumpkin pie recipe printed on the label of our canned pumpkin. Who knew, right? We used Ina Garten's pie crust recipe at foodnetwork.com. So good!
We mixed 3/4 of an 8 oz. package of cream cheese and one package of instant chocolate pudding mix. We added milk to that until it seemed like the right consistency. And then we put it into the pie crust we made. Oooo! Fast and yummy!
We had a little extra pie crust and pumpkin pie mix left so we made two cute pies for each of us in our muffin pan. Fun and yummy!
Bon Appetit!
