Pumpkin Pie
1 Unbaked pie shell
15 ounces Pumpkin Puree
3/4 cup light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups half and half
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1. Set separate racks in the center and lower third of oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Put a piece of parchment paper or foil over the pie shell and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake on a baking sheet on the center rack until the dough is set, about 20 minutes.
2. Remove from the oven and lift sides of the parchment paper to remove the beans. Continue baking until the pie shell is lightly golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Cool on a rack.
3. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F
4. While the pie shell is cooling make the filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, brown sugar, eggs, half-and-half, spices, and salt until smooth. Return the pie shell to the baking sheet and pour in the filling.
5. Bake on the lower oven rack until the edges of the filling are set but the center is still slightly loose, about 50 to 60 minutes. (If the edges get very dark, cover them with aluminum foil.) Cool on a rack. Serve room temperature or slightly warm.

Chicken Fajitas for dinner
Yesterday I knew I had some chicken to cook. While I was at the store I picked up some sour cream, cheese, salsa and flour tortillas.
I ended up making fajitas. I had a couple orange and yellow peppers and half an onion. When I make fajitas, I love this marinade.
They have a whole line of great marinades.

Stouffer's Chicken & Broccoli bake
I recently discovered Stouffer's Chicken & Broccoli when Marcel was on a business trip. I needed something that could be tossed in the microwave, but also had flavor. It is high in fat which is good for Miss V. We all liked it, but Miss V didn't enjoy the top crusty part.
Here is some info from the Stouffer's site.
Tender pieces of all white chicken and broccoli with curly pasta in a rich Cheddar cheese sauce topped with cheesy bread crumbs. Oven baked taste, just like homemade.

Sun dried tomato pesto
My snake stromboli called for Sun-dried tomato pesto and I found it at our local grocery store. It was located on the top shelf near pasta sauces. I have seen it many other times and always thought that it looked interesting.
Well I do believe everyone enjoyed the snake stromboli, since every bite was gone.
Yesterday I thawed out the other two frozen bread loaves to make pizza. Well, I changed my mind and made two calzones. One was olive oil, ham and swiss. The other was an "italian" with mozzarella, provolone, pepperoni and genoa salami and I spread a liberal amount of the sun dried tomato pesto.
Both were very good, but the one with the pesto tasted a little better.
So here is some info about the Sun Dried Tomato Pesto
This info came from the Classico website:
Sun-dried Tomato Pesto
Basil pesto and the intense flavor of sun-dried tomatoes combine in this savory topping. Spread on a loaf of Italian bread. Or add to pasta with olives and crushed red peppers for the easy-life version of Puttanesca.

I think it would also be a great addition to "Italian butter".
