So I followed Ina's recipe and substituted pumpkin for the butternut squash and barley for the pasta. I did the cannellini beans from dried; used frozen chopped tom"

"Delightful!!!! I used by mistake tangerine juice for my first mix......I loved it. Tomorrow for Thanksgiving I will use Meyer lemon juice and coat the glass rim with real ginger snaps. The kids will get theirs mixed with Ginger Ale. Now to bake the pies!"

"This was to die for....especially the crust. I added zucchini to the filling and used blue corn meal to the crust which added a little color. This one is to try for sure. You won't be disappointed."
