No matter what your food traditions, I can’t wait to sink my teeth into some pumpkin pie. For this week's post, we decided to share our KJ Team’s favorite Thanksgiving foods + recipes for the ultimate KJ Thanksgiving resource. Take a look and get ready to lick your plate clean!

Erin: Buttermilk Pie
2 10” deep dish pie crusts (homemade is best but frozen works too!)
⅓ Ib soft, not melted butter
3 ¼ cup sugar
5 eggs
⅓ cup flour
1 ½ cup buttermilk
2 tsp. vanilla
*Preheat oven for 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar well with a mixer. Add eggs and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Add flour gradually on low speed. Add buttermilk and beat well. Pour into unbaked pie shells. Bake for 20 minutes. Put collars on pie tins and bake for another 60 minutes. Remove from the oven if knife comes out clean. Serve when cool with whipped cream!
In heavy saucepan, blend together flour and sugar until well-mixed (prevents lumps). Add 1 cup cold half n half to flour-sugar mixture. Mix well. Add 2 cups hot half n half while stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat until bubbly, stirring constantly. Add some of the hot mixture to the beaten eggs before adding them to the pudding mixture. Boil for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add salt and vanilla. Let pudding cool until just warm. Put enough pudding in pie shell to cover the bottom. Add sliced bananas; cover with rest of pudding.
