Same back to you and all. I made pies from 8 o'clock this morning until 1 today. 2 pumpkin, 1 pecan and 2 French Canadian pork. DH called and said don't bother planning to cook dinner (woo-hoo) because office luncheon had food to send home. (I threw the steaks into the freezer so fast!) I asked him to stop at the store and bring eggs (I forgot how many I'd be using for the pies) and some kind of rolls for tomorrow. I was going to bake home-made ones but as warm as it is here in Florida this year it was brutal to be in the mood for making all those pies, much less making home-made yeast rolls. I did manage to make 2 different batches of cookies day before yesterday but didn't want to. I might be doing some piecing but probably not much. I changed my mind about what to do next and decided to do the double square star block design that was on the Missouri Star Quilt site recently. I was going to do the block that Pat Sloan put out for a mystery quilt and got tired of fiddling with re-sizing it for what I thought I wanted to do. Maybe later when my mind isn't full of gotta-dos.

Rita, what is a French Canadian pork pie? It sounds scrumptious.

The pie is also known as Tourtiere. Lots of recipes online . My mother made these every year and I have been doing it also since she died 30 years ago . Cant have christmas dinner without meat pie. I usually serve it with homemade chili sauce. Your recipe is very similar except we also use sage as a seasoning.

I wish everyone a happy holiday season.

Ladies, that sounds so good. I had to look up Bell's seasoning, because I had never heard of it. Thanks so much for the recipe, Rita. All these traditional holiday meals are so fun to hear about. Being Italian on my mother's side, my family always had lasagna for Christmas Eve dinner, which was when we celebrated. In fact, we had some tonight, although my brother made it since my parents are gone.

Mom always prepared Chop Suey for when the family got together.......only a memory now. :-) I made Pork Pies a few years ago and really liked them. This post makes me want them again.......will have to go to the store soon. lol

Merry Christmas, y'all.

I usually make about ten or twelve at a time and keep them in the freezer. A good meal on those nights when you just don't know what to make for supper.

Merry , Merry to all!

Christmas day is quiet here, with it being just DH and me today. We'll have a little Christmas, catch a movie and this year grill a duck, with some wild rice and fresh veggies. Full Christmas mayhem this year will be on Sunday when we catch up with my niece and nephews, along with their children and celebrate Christmas with the family.

I may sneak some sewing in on Saturday, if I can get my room back to normal after Christmas wrapping....its chaos at the moment!

thank you for posting the recipe...believe it or not, I don't believe I've ever had a meat pie....something new to try! My mother was 100% Polish, so it was periogies and sausage/sauerkraut as the traditional side dishes. I do miss the homemade periogies!

Have a wonderful, safe and peaceful Christmas!
