The Best Pumpkin Pie Turnovers

If you want to change up your Thanksgiving dessert this year or if you just want to try something fun, these Pumpkin Pie turnovers are just the thing and they taste great.  In this video tutorial, I make them small, like little mini turnovers but you can make them any size you want.  It doesn’t matter if you like to cook down a fresh a pumpkin and make these from scratch or if prefer to use a can of Pumpkin Puree.  Either way, you’re going to need basic Pumpkin Pie Ingredients, listed down below, to get this recipe started.

Pumpkin Pie Turnovers Experience

My Experience with Turnovers is personal.  When I was a child, I was babysat by a family that owned an A&W shop that went belly up.  I stayed good friends with their son for years and eventually they got back on their feet and bought a bakery.  They delivered bread to local restaurants, sold all kinds of desserts, cakes, pies, donuts and of course Turnovers.  And just like the Poor Man’s Gourmet Kitchen, they didn’t care too much for waste.  So anything left over would often find its way home.  It wasn’t often, but sometimes my friends would offer me a slice here or there.  But, my absolute favorite was the turnovers.  I’m not sure they ever made Pumpkin Pie Turnovers, per say but I sure had my fair share of Apple, Lemon and Raspberry.

Be sure to check out my Pumpkin Pie Milkshake.  It’s so good and easy to make. You can even use leftover pumpkin pie as the base.

This Cutting Board Set is awesome.  But before I get into it, I want to explain a little bit about what I’m doing and what you’ll be seeing more of in the future.  I’ve recently gotten involved with a website that is strictly YouTube related.  And as you know, my recipes always have a video to boot because that’s practically all I post.  The primary goal of this site is to connect products with YouTube Channels that can review their product and give free advertisement (because of the video and the subscriber base following) in exchange for FREE Products that Creators like me can receive and pass on to you, which helps create more buzz with my followers.  That being said, I give you Vita Verse’s Bamboo Cutting Board Set!

Peach Sangria

The Best Sangria

I love a good Sangria.  It’s always so refreshing.  And, what’s there to complain about?  Ingredients include Red Wine, Lemonade, cold soda, Brandy, schnapps and fruit.  Everything about this recipe screams party.  Though it’s normally a drink served in the summer time, I created this Peach Sangria for the fall.  I felt like this would be a great Thanksgiving holiday drink served with all of the traditional recipes that have been handed down to us throughout the years and once you try it, I think you’ll agree.

My Sangria Secret

A good Sangria recipe is going to be packed with flavor and sweetness that balances your meal and should always be served cold.  That’s why I like to make this chillable red wine with Frozen Fruit, instead of fresh.  Sliced peaches can act as ice cubes if they’re previously frozen and they add a wonderful flavor to the mix.  The Lemonade, Mountain Dew and Peach Schnapps adds a wonderful sweet and sour to the wine.  The Brandy binds all of the ingredients together and makes this drink what it is.  Technically, it’s not a sangria with out it.

Peach Sangria Ingredients:

1 part Frozen Peach Slices for Ice cubes
1 to 2 parts Red Wine
1 part Peach Schnapps
1/2 part Lemonade
1/2 part Mountain Dew
1/4 part Brandy
