Homegrown Lass

As Thanksgiving approaches, pumpkin seems to be on everyone’s mind! I’m also pretty sure pumpkin pie is the pie of Thanksgiving! Now growing up, I never was a huge fan of any of the Thanksgiving dishes, same with pumpkin pie. For me, it was only a vehicle for my favorite dish, Grandma’s Pie Topping.
