And just like that… it’s November. It really felt like the strangest weekend ever, what with Halloween and daylights savings time happening back to back. I did manage to sleep in, but only until my regular time so in a way I did sleep in but I didn’t… if that makes sense.

And now, Christmas displays are literally everywhere and holiday music is playing. Not here of course. I promise I’m swearing it all off until later in the month. I’ll eye stuff, maybe buy stuff, but no listening, watching or decorating anything Christmas-y. It’s kind of crazy how one day it’s Halloween and everyone is sharing their costumes and favorite candy. Then mere hours later the same people are suddenly Christmas obsessed. Too much. Too quick for me.

One upside to it being November is that we got a great deal on a pumpkin! I figure sales are highest before the holiday, because everyone wants a pumpkin to carve. And now the sales on pumpkins likely dwindle and farms need to get rid of their stock before the month is over. Makes total sense. And it’s perfect timing for a pumpkin project at school! Win win in my eyes!

Another huge upside to it being November… pie! I have a serious love for pie. Since Thanksgiving is only a few short weeks away, it’s a great time to start thinking about what you want to make. This deep dish pumpkin pie should definitely be on the menu!

Year to year, I flip flop back and forth between making cheesecake and pie. This year, clearly it’s pie.

Deep dish pumpkin pie with a spiced gingersnap crust! The absolute best of both worlds… the depth and crust of your favorite cheesecake but with the amazing flavor and creaminess of a pie!

An absolute must make and a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table!
