#Mtcookbook Up today, variation on pumpkin pie.

I‘m using one of my vintagy Watkins pie plates I found in a secondhand shop. They are the heavy ceramic types with recipes imprinted on them. I didn‘t know Watkins ever sold pie plates! (Watkins is an old spice company in our region.)

mabell I‘ve never come across one of those plates! We have Watkins around here too. How did the variation turn out?? 3mo
SamAnne I have one! Didnt know the history. 3mo
LeahBergen We have Watkins in Canada, too. I have one of their old cookbooks that belonged to my grandmother. 3mo

janeycanuck What a pretty pie plate! I love Watkins cinnamon, it‘s my go-to. 3mo
Tamra @mabell rave reviews from the family, which I‘m not surprised because it‘s richer and spicer than the more traditional recipe. I don‘t have a sweet tooth, but I did have a bite while serving and give it 👍🏾👍🏾. 3mo
Tamra @SamAnne which recipe is in yours? I explored the history on their website when I found the pie plates and it was fun. (edited) 3mo
Tamra @LeahBergen it‘s amazing how successful the company became given how humble its beginnings! How wonderful you have your grandmother‘s cookbook, those are the best. ❤️ Warm & fuzzy feelings. I keep my eye out for a Watkins cookbook, but no luck yet! 3mo
Tamra @janeycanuck Frequently I buy their vanilla. 😋 3mo

#Mtcookbook Basically, a variation on Mac & Cheese. 😋 This is common cooking in my house. I look at the leftovers in the fridge and pantry and find a suitable way to use them up. This was very tasty, per the hubby. I made it quite a bit spicer than the recipe directed. 🌶️

mabell That sounds good! 4mo
LeahBergen I love a casserole! 4mo
Tamra @LeahBergen you might like this book then - it‘s a chunkster with a lot of variety and she doesn‘t use can cream soups. (Not that I‘m above using a can soup when time pressed.) (edited) 4mo
Bookzombie Sounds yummy! 4mo
Tamra @Bookzombie it was! I wish there were more leftovers. @mabell (edited) 4mo

The Littlest Voyageur | Margi Preus

This was a sweet little tale, an early chapter book by Minnesota author Margi Preus. We have a voyageur from Montreal in our family history, so it was interesting to read from that perspective. (I‘m hoping he was like Jean Gentille, the book lover in this story!)

RebelReader This looks so enticing. Except I call them hot dishes not casseroles! 🤣🤣🤣 7mo
Tamra @RebelReader I mentioned that to my husband! She is a Minnesotan, but I‘m guessing the publisher thought people outside the Midwest wouldn‘t know a hot dish. 😆 7mo
RebelReader @tamra I think you‘re right! Whatever we call them, they are delicious! 7mo

Marcie Rendon is of the White Earth Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, writes in Minneapolis and was born the same year as me. Her debut was a murder mystery introducing Cash Blackbear, a young Aanishinaabe woman who helps the local sheriff solve mysteries. Love this character!

This is a #blameitonlitsy book. It sounded interesting, and my library had it. Cash Blackbear is a fantastic character, and the author paints her world and her surroundings really well. I‘ll definitely be continuing with this series. #audiowalk

jlhammar Yay, me too! Looking forward to the second one! 12mo
