Creamy Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

November 14, 2013 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 22 Comments

Pumpkin, pumpkin, all the pumpkin! I still can’t believe I was pretty pumpkin illiterate just a couple of years ago! I never really ate anything pumpkin except a slice of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. Now I am pretty sure pumpkin is one of my favorite flavors and ingredients to cook with. You can use it for anything and everything, sweet or savory!

Side Dish or Dessert? ๐Ÿค” Where does the CLASSIC marshmallow-topped sweet potato casserole reside? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ * It's always been a "sweet" side dish in our family, definitely NOT a dessert!

What do you call this classic Thanksgiving side? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Technically, this is "dressing" since it was baked on its own (not inside a bird). ๐Ÿ˜ My family has ALWAYS called it stuffing and I grew up in the Northeast. In the South, they tend to call it "dressing". They also tend to make it with...CORNBREAD! ๐Ÿคฉ * I ALWAYS make my famous "traditional" stuffing recipe (on the blog), but a cornbread stuffing sounded delicious to try this year!
