We all have certain traditional food that is served every year around Thanksgiving. Here is one of ours. These Pumpkin Pie Squares take pumpkin pie to a whole new delicious level.
Doesn’t that look yummy? Bon Bon made these for a dinner that the youth served to the elderly at church last night. She also made two apple pies. Her Young Women leaders asked her to bake the desserts which she gladly did. We found out after the dinner that she was the only one they trusted enough to cook food that would be served. The other young women were just asked to bring green salads “because it’s hard to mess those up.” I guess Bon Bon’s reputation as a good cook is getting around. ;D
