Another Frozen Pie Please!

Tweet

I've decided to not go the way of making desserts from scratch this year. Got out of work yesterday and had to go to the grocery store for a few more items. I stood in front of the frozen pie section for about 5 minutes and looked at the offerings. After reading the label on a Mrs. Smith's berry pie, I decided to purchase it. Now I already had the ingredients for a homemade pumpkin pie in my cart, but looked at the pre-made frozen crusts and contemplated buying one. I talked myself out of it. When I got home, I preheated the oven and made myself a cup of coffee. After I put the pie in the oven I sat on the sofa with coffee in hand, took a few sips and fell asleep. So much for doing a little housework as I had planned on doing. I woke and finished my now cold coffee. I could smell the aroma of the berry pie coming from the kitchen and hoped that I hadn't slept through the timer. Just then, the timer went off and I headed to the kitchen to remove the pie from the oven. So easy and simple to open a box, toss a pie in the oven to bake. I decided that I will go to the store to pick up a pumpkin pie tonight. I am sure my family won't crucify me for cheating. If the ingredients are the same as homemade and I bake it at home, it is still good enough to serve. I hope that you don't beat yourself up for not making homemade desserts. Why not give yourself a break and go the easy route?
