Gluten Free Crust
1 stick unsalted butter
1 1/2 c oatmeal flour*
5 tbsp cold water
1 tsp vanilla
Cut butter into flour until a crumb like texture forms. Add water and vanilla and work dough with hands. Press into a pie pan. Mine was about 10" wide.
Bake at 400º for 12 minutes.
Some individuals with celiac disease cannot tolerate oats, use your best judgement.
Pie Filling
1 15 oz. can pumpkin
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 425º. Mix all ingredients and pour into pie shell. Bake for 15 minutes at 425º.
Reduce oven temperature to 350º and bake for 35-40 minutes until center of pie comes out clean with toothpick test. Cool pie before cutting.
Enjoy.
We add a scoop of good vanilla ice cream on top of warm pie!
3 c granulated sugar
1 c canola oil
4 eggs
1 16 oz can pumpkin
3 1/3 c flour (I use oatmeal flour to make it gluten free)
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cloves
1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 c. nuts (optional)
Grease and flour 5 small bread pans. I use pans that are about 6" x 3 1/4" x 2". Heat oven to 350º. Beat sugar, oil, eggs and pumpkin. Sift flour, salt, baking soda, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat this mixture into pumpkin mixture. Add nuts now if you chose. Divide batter among the loaf pans. Tap each pan to remove air bubbles.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean at the center.
Let cool 10 min. in pans and use a knife around the edges to loosen loaves.
Wrap in foil and refrigerate.
Happy Fall!

Friendship is built, much like a pizza crust. Over time, with attention to details. There's a foundation, there's ingredients and there is flavor. Over the years what makes this pizza good may change, but the foundation has been established. The past two weeks we were on the road doing shows. During this time, we shared meals with friends in their homes, in our art fair booth, in restaurants. The breaking of bread, with friends cannot be compared to anything else. This common act shared, is what keeps us whole, keeps us centered, keeps us nourished from the inside out.
Above is a photo of a magnificent gluten free pizza delivered to us at the Las Olas Art Fair by our dear friend, Michael Bole. Created by Pizza Fusion, you'd never know it was gluten free! What an amazing treat to have this lovingly gifted to us.
Food for the soul for certain!
We are continually blessed with amazing friends-
Thank you Michael and all who 'fed' us in so many ways on this recent trip!
