PUMPKIN CRISP...TOPPED WITH BLUE BELL'S BEST!



It's Autumn...
time for Crisps and Cobblers that feature 
the 
Great Pumpkin!


It was a happy day!
Blue Bell is back in the freezer!
Life is complete once again!

Now this being the month of November,
it was time to try one of my all time favorite recipes...
The Pumpkin Crisp
from
"Living High on the Hog!"


This is a darling southern cookbook I added to
the Divine Miss M's collection years ago!
Precious illustrations and fabulous recipes!


This smells like Thanksgiving day!
I tell you, it's so good
we ate if for breakfast!

  4. I've looked on Amazon for the cookbook "Living High on the Hog". I found it, but there is no description of
    any of the recipes or even the writer(s). Could you give us some insight?

    1. The cookbook was one I bought years ago at a local Southern Tea Room. It is a delightful and darling cookbook full of southern recipes by ordinary home chefs! The illustrations are precious as shown above and we love the recipes. They are rather easy, some being family favorites! If you love southern cooking, then you will probably love this cookbook! It was composed by Barbara Kelley and many recipes are from the kitchens of Ruth Walker and Amy Gardner!
