Thanksgiving Pies: Pumpkin and Sweet Potato
[Photos: Robyn Lee]
Ok, so pies aren't exactly sides, but they're such important parts of the Thanksgiving tradition that I had to include them in this series. Rich pumpkin (or sweet potato) custard, spiced with cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and sometimes booze, these pies are my all-time favorite. They're sometimes even better after they've set for a day, so you can make your pies ahead of time to cut down on last minute stress.
Here are a few slices of pie inspiration. Do you have a favorite sweet potato or pumpkin pie recipe?
