Pumpkin Fest at the Grier Cottage


















On Saturday we got to celebrate our vegan version of turkey day at the Grier Cottage. It was an absolutely beautiful day full of fall colours, love, and deliciousness. The feast that we all worked on will become the official celebration menu for years to come.

Here it is:

Candied Yams
Fresh Beans from Allen's Garden
Killer Cranberry Sauce
Harvest Pie
Vegan Hearty Stuffing

followed by

Death by Chocolatey Loaf with bits of coconut, walnuts, chocolate chips
Massive Applie Pie in an iron skillet
Skulls and Cross Bones Pumpkin Pie

After dinner we sat for some tea and were presented with lovely wedding gifts from our family. A little birdie had told John and El that we were on the last of our glasses, so thanks for the amazing set and Ikea Gift card. We are also loving the Melissa and Doug chessboard which will encourage learning with Charlotte and I guess (hehehe) special time with Allen. Maybe it will bring me around from my mommy brain.

Brian and Norma were so generous. They gifted us with something amazing in addition to beautiful cutting boards that will allow us all to cook together and an organic heritage variety of flour.

We love you all and thanks for spending this occasion with us.
