The holidays are just around the corner. Homemade recipes are always a must in our home as I plan our Thanksgiving menu, but I'm not too proud to take a few short cuts here and there. Homemade pie crust is delicious. Store bought pie crust is a lot easier. This pumpkin pie with {no roll} pecan crust is the best of both worlds! That's right. NO ROLL. Just press and bake! The pecans add a delicious crunch and would be delicious in a dutch apple pie as well.
Several years ago my friend, Tiffany, shared a recipe for making crust with oil instead of shortening. Then I learned that you can mix up any oil based crust recipe in it's pan and press it instead of rolling. What a time saver for one crust pies!
Pumpkin Pie With Pecan Crust
16 oz. pumpkin puree (Pacific Organic)
⅔ c. evaporated milk
3 eggs
¾ c. sugar
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. ginger
¼ tsp. cloves
1 unbaked pie crust:
1 ½ c. flour
1 tsp. sugar
½ tsp. salt
2 T. milk
½ c. oil (I used coconut oil in its liquid state)
⅓ c. finely chopped pecans
Mix all ingredients (except for nuts) for crust in pie pan with a fork. Add nuts and mix with your hands. Press evenly across pan and up the sides.
Beat eggs in a large bowl and mix in sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger and cloves. Gently stir in pumpkin and evaporated milk. Pour into pie shell.
Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for 15 minutes. Drop temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean.

I love the Pacific soups especially the Tomatoe red Pepper.
I use the soup stock in Vetatable Beef Stew.

I always use three cartons of chicken stock to make a big batch of homemade chicken noodle soup. Eat it and freeze it!

A good recipe that I add broth too is....
Chicken Pot Pie
-1/3 C. Margarine
-1/2 C. flour
-1/3 C. chopped onions
Melt the margarine and add the flour and onions. Salt & Pepper. Cook until smooth.
- 1 3/4 C. chicken broth
-2/3 C. Milk
Add to mixture above and stir and boil for 1 min.
Then add....
-2 Cups of chopped chicken breast
-Frozen peas
-Sliced carrots
-Cubed potatoes
Make a double pie crust and put it in your pie crust and top with top layer crust.
Bake at 375 for 45 mins.

My favorite recipe to use the Cartons for is my Porkchops and Gravy in the crock pot.
I use the Pacific Natural Foods Organic Cream Of Mushroom Condensed Soup (12 oz).
2 12 oz Pacific Organic Cream of Mushroom Condensed Soup Cartons
4-6 pork chops, boneless (depending on how many people you are serving)
1/2 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 cup of milk
1. Cook the porkchops fully, browning them in skillet.
2. Place the cooked pork chops on the bottom of the crock pot.
3. Turn to crock pot on high heat.
4. Add in Cream of Mushroom soup cartons, dijon mustard, milk and lipton onion soup mix.
5. Stir mixture.
6. Cook for 4 hours, then serve with mashed potatoes or any other side dish you would like.
I never have liked pork chops, however these are AMAZING! They are not tough, they fall apart, and I would recommend this!! It is SO good!
Thank you for the giveaway!!

I add chicken broth to my rice a lot. That pumpkin pie looks so good. I'll have to try this recipe. You know where I live if you ever accidentally make too many.
