Valerie is a 42-year-old, single, Reformed Christian lady who lives in Baltimore. She doesn't remember a time
before she knew and loved Jesus, but she does remember accepting John Calvin into her heart in March of 2000.
Valerie is a member of Christ Reformed Evangelical Church in Annapolis.
Though her career aspiration is to be a housewife, Valerie has not yet found anyone suitable who wishes to hire
her for employment in that field (or, more properly, anyone suitable has not found her), so in the meantime she
earns her daily bread working in communications -- editing, writing, print design and website management.
Help! What Can I Do with Extra Pumpkin Pie Filling?
I must have bought the wrong size pie crusts, because I have about three cups or so more filling than will fit in the crusts. Could I just bake the extra in custard dishes?

I have successfully cooked it alone several times in a buttered glass pan. I might have lowered the heat to 325 degrees--as if it were a custard.
1 cup cold milk 2 packages (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding 1 cup canned pumpkin 1 tsp. ground cinnamon ½ tsp. ground nutmeg 1 ½ cups Cool Whip
Beat milk, pudding mixes, pumpkin, and spices with whisk until blended. Stir in 1 ½ cups Cool Whip. Pour into some or other container and refrigerate for at least one hour. Top with more Cool Whip and caramel syrup if desired.
(The whole thing is intended to be put in a graham cracker crust, but I think it would be tasty w/o the crust too)
