Delicious Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie recipe from our chef Laurie Wolfe

Hello Backers!

Rumor has it there’s a little holiday coming up called Thanksgiving... so I got in touch with one of our celebrity chefs, Laurie Wolfe, and asked if she could whip something up for you! I was worried she’d be too busy sunbathing and reflecting on the success of Herb: Mastering the Art of Cooking with Cannabis, but no, she was itching to get back into the kitchen for you guys!

Together with her partner Bruce (who created the stunning images for the book), she came up with this delicious pumpkin pie recipe: Laurie Wolfe’s "Special" Pumpkin Pie

If this pie is meant to be shared with non cannabis users, why not infuse the sour cream sauce? That way only the ones who care to indulge can do so, with a drizzle to a dollop of this creamy canna-bliss. 

Happy Thanksgiving, and let’s get some peace on earth going too. 

 "Special" Pumpkin Pie

Serves 8

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
• 1 cup cream
• 3 tablespoons canna-butter, melted and cooled 
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg 
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger 
• 1 pie crust* 
  

Directions

Heat oven to 350 

1. In a mixing bowl beat the eggs and the sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Add the pumpkin, cream, canna-butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Mix well.
3. Pour into a pie crust* and bake till done. The pie will rise during baking and then settle when cooling.
4. Serve with a dollop of brown sugar sour cream sauce.**

Pie Crust* 

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 sticks butter, unsalted
• 1/3 to ½ cup water 
  

 Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough in half, and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
2. Roll out dough on a floured counter. Don’t over work it. Use as directed in pie recipe. You can freeze the other half for up to 3 months. 

Sour cream sauce** 

If you want to infuse the sauce, add the 3 tablespoons of melted and cooled canna-butter to the sour cream. Increase all the spices by ½ teaspoon. 

Ingredients

• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar or maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon cloves
• ¼ teaspoon ginger

There isn't too much new to report this week, but I want to make sure I keep readers who might not have seen my previous post in the know. I will be reposting the original "Raffle-Post" a couple more times leading up to the drawing for the prize, just to make sure everyone is aware of it (and hopefully to generate some additional sales!) I will be posting a new chapter sometime during the week (hopefully two). The rest of the post will be the information regarding my novel's raffle-giveaway!

In honor of the upcoming holidays, I've decided to put together a contest, and I've even added extra rewards for those of you who've already chosen to back The Children of the Forest! 

With gift-giving season upon us, I thought it was fitting to pull something from my store for all of you readers out there. To that end, I've picked up a $250.00 Amazon Gift Card. You can cover all of your holiday needs with this one handy item! Or, simply splurge for yourself and pick up any number of great items to keep you busy for months!

The way the contest will work is simple. Everyone who purchases one or more copies of my book will receive X amount of entries, based on the purchase level. An E-book-only purchase, for example, will give the buyer X 1 ticket, a hardcover sale will award X 2 tickets, and so on and so forth.

For everyone who has already backed my book, you will receiveDOUBLE the normal ticket value of your support level, as thanks for choosing to back my story without incentives!  

I will be running this campaign until December 10th, at which time, I will announce the winner. If you've been on the fence about picking up a copy of my book, now is the time. Every single purchase awards you with a chance to win this great prize!

So remember folks, support my book, The Children of the Forest, with your pre-order(s) today! It's already nearing 150 total sales, and I'm really hopeful that I can break the Quill requirement before the end of the holiday season! I need your support to do that. Every purchase of support puts me one step closer to realizing my dream, and gets the book into your hands that much sooner.

Have a great night everyone ~ until next time.
