Pumpkin Pie

November is the month when we most frequently think of pumpkin pie. It seems like it's something the family never tires of. An excellent source of vitamin A and fiber, it's a good way to add nutrients to the diet and enjoy doing so at the same time!

Pumpkin Pie

1 package MoriNu tofu
1 cup soymilk
1 can pumpkin, small size
3/4 cup sugar (may use alternative natural sweeteners instead)*
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tp. ginger
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 unbaked pie shell, gluten free

Blend MoriNu Tofu and soymilk together. Mix tofu mixture and remaining ingredients well and pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 C) for 1 - 1 1/2 hours, or until knife inserted in center and comes out clean.

Cool completely and serve with favorite whipped topping. Enjoy!

*Alternative sweeteners: stevia, date sugar, Sucanat, maple syrup, agave syrup, etc. If using a liquid sweetener, add a small amount of cornstarch to the filling to assist with thickening.

Firefly Farm Dish Clothes

This week I received a parcel in the mail with this beautifully wrapped package inside. It was soft and squishy. The new dish clothes I ordered had arrived! Thank you, Debra from Firefly Farm. I love the fibers, textures, designs, and colors. And I'm really happy to have cotton knitted dish clothes again, as they work so nicely for kitchen clean-up and dish washing.

Threads of Frost

Although most of us as bloggers enjoy the artistic talents of so many in blogland, it seems I am always drawn most to the artistry found in nature. Have you noticed how art principles are carried out over and over again in nature? Balance, color, rhythm, unity, and more are all found in creation. This morning was frosty and the lawn covered with a coat of white. I was most intrigued by the cobwebs that hung like garlands from grass plume to grass plume. Each was coated in a thick layer of white frost, making web show up in such amazing patterns. It was so interesting. . .I just had to share. It might be a simple thing in life, but it's the small things that bring great joy and wholeness to the spirit!

Enjoy a lovely week-end!

'These early November hours
That crimson the creeper's leaf across
Like a splash of blood, intense, abrupt,
O'er a shield; else gold from rim to boss
And lay it for show on the fairy-cupped
Elf-needled mat of moss.'
