guest post: favorite holiday recipe from cb at the city birds nest

hi with a chance of readers! i'm cb from city birds nest and i am super excited to be here today to share with you a new to me tradition!



growing up in a latino household our thanksgiving was anything but traditional but to us it was. yes, we had the turkey, spiced up with traditional yucatan spices and our table was packed full with other latino dishes but never did we have pumpkin pie. when i met tom, his family blew my mind with their traditional thanksgiving diner equipped with stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy and best of all, pumpkin pie!!!




 since then i LOVE this holiday more then ever, which i really didn't think was every possible!  i found a recipe that i really really love and can't wait to make it each year, pumpkin pie with brown sugar walnut topping! i found the recipe on epicurious which you can view here. it is the perfect mix of pumpkin mush and sweet walnut crunch. the only thing i changed is instead of canned pumpkin i use real pumpkin. it is so easy and ten times yummier! 


first cut up your pumpkin, get all it's guts out and cut up into smaller pieces and throw into a pot with a bit of water and steam until the pumpkin flesh is tender. drain and then spoon out the flesh and put in a blender and set to puree and you are done and ready to bake!!


 pie doesn't last long in this house and makes the perfect breakfast too! enjoy i know my tummy did!





thanks again kat for allowing me to share my favorite recipe with your readers!




xo,

First, on this edition of blog love weekly, I’d like to take you to see Chelsea of Tea Talk. She is a sweet little fashion blogger who is just as adorable in real life as she is on the computer screen. Chelsea always has the nicest outfit photo posts and I just can’t get enough. For someone like me who has no clue what they are doing when it comes to fashion it’s nice to see what someone else is doing. She also has some really great interviews and information on her glad you have to read through. I’m very glad I got to meet her. She did an amazing job helping put together the AZ Blogger Meet Up! Chelsea also just graduated from college today! So, Congratulations to the lovely lady of Tea Talk, great things are going to come from this girl, mark my words.

Next we take a trip over to City Bird’s Nest to meet the wonderful cb. She is a crafter and a biker and super sweet! I’m so thankful for the lovely comments she leaves on my blog, it really keeps me going. Her blog is full of her fun adventures in the world on and off her bike. It really inspires me to want to get on a bike and just ride! Well, maybe after the baby comes! She also has the nicest things in her Etsy shop. Rumor has it she is going to be adding a line of lovely necklaces! It’s so hard to resist as shopping spree when there are such wonderful online shops like the City Bird’s Nest.
