The purpose of my fall food diary is to document my Allegheny College senior project, which is eating only local organic foods within a 100-mile radius of Meadville, Pennsylvania. I intend to record all of my foods, feelings, and show some pictures, so that I can assess my personal evolution from start to finish.

Pumpkin Pie
Today my mom and I baked a perfect fall dish - pumpkin pie! We started by cutting up a pie pumpkin, which was much harder than it sounds. I put the pieces in a food processor to grind them up, and then added milk, wheat flour, honey, and a little butter to the pumpkin to make my filling. I made the pie crust the same as the others, using more butter than I typically do for flatbread to make a flakier crust. I was a little nervous about it but it turned out fantastic. It would certainly be enhanced by some spices but I'll be able to add those soon enough, and in the mean time I love my pumpkin pie. I'll definitely be making this for Thanksgiving dinner!
