As American as….

the flag, burgers and apple pie. However you choose to celebrate the 4th, do it safely.
top to bottom:
If you’ve got a flag, fly it. If you don’t have one, get one.
Nothing more American than a burger on the grill. You might want to ratchet it up with a little Jack Daniels Maple Syrup Ketchup.
And, apple pie? Yes please.
Sparklers and a firecracker or two couldn’t hurt either.

Who’s Ready For Pie?
November 20, 2019
From the simplequietmodern archives, two recipes that’ll finish off your Thanksgiving feast beautifully. First, Brown Sugar Hubbard Squash Pie where the roasting of the squash brings a depth of flavor you just can’t get from canned pumpkin. Then a twist on another Thanksgiving favorite with Sour Cream Apple Pie. Better make them both…you know everyone’s going to want pie.
The recipes and previous posts can be found here:

“You like pie?”
September 27, 2013
“I like pie”. * Who’s going to argue with the President on this point? Pie is good…simple as that. And, what better way to usher in Fall than with an apple pie… in this case, Sour Cream Apple Pie.
I adapted the recipe found here:http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com/posie_gets_cozy/2008/10/sour-cream-appl.html using a mix of Granny Smith and Gala Apples. This pie was even better on the second day at room temperature.
