Fall Harvest at the Greenfields

Nov 11, 2021

In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran use one of their favorite fall harvest ingredients—pumpkin—in two different ways.  The Greenfield family was very happy to have two delicious desserts awaiting them after dinner this evening.  While Terran took on the classic pumpkin pie, River tried something new, creating a no-bake pumpkin-cheesecake for his harvest dessert of choice.

As an added bonus, the co-hosts take their viewers on a tour of Greenfields’ mini orchard in honor of the fall harvest season.

 

*Many fall pie recipes call for Crisco or shortening.  However, River and Terran do not bake with shortening, which has been shown to promote inflammation in the body, to be connected with fatty liver disease, to promote fat gain, and to be linked to type II diabetes.
