CARROT PIE

About a week ago Silas decided he wanted to make a carrot pie. He'd never seen or tasted carrot pie in his life. I think he was inspired by the carrots growing in our garden. 

Wise beyond his years, he realized the answers to all of life's problems can be found on the Sonlight forums. So he asked if he could post a thread under my name. He put out a request for carrot pie and got several responses. He chose one and made the pie today. 

I sliced the carrots and put the pie in and took it out of the oven, but he did all the rest of the work - reading the recipe, measuring, processing, pouring, slicing, serving. He used frozen pie crusts, which obviously made the process easier. 

Tonight was the big taste test and the pies passed with flying colors. So delicious that both pies were eaten in one sitting! I've posted the recipe at FOR THE LOVE OF GRUB for those who want to try it out.

I'm so glad Silas made his pies. Super!! You must have a good cook there if your little family ate them both! :)

oh my goodness, that is too cute for words. And that he thought of it all by himself, sought out the recipe, and put it all together- what an incredible learning experience!
