Carrot Pie for Thanksgiving

This carrot pie tastes just like pumpkin pie so it’s perfect for Thanksgiving!

The wooden dining room table with a floral and white pumpkin runner.

So I’ve already had my Thanksgiving because I’m Canadian but I’m doing this post just for you, my US friends. I’m also secretly wishing for turkey again so I really don’t mind at all setting a table for you.

In fact, I made dessert!

As you may already know, I love baking pies. Today I made a delicious carrot pie. It tastes just like pumpkin pie, but better!

I did a fall table setting last month with purples and greens but let me show you how I have changed things up.

Also, I’m part of a big Thanksgiving blogging tour going on all this week (thank you Lory from Designthusiasm for inviting me!) so be sure to visit all the beautiful table settings at the end of this post.

White pumpkins and hydrangeas plus seeded eucalyptus are on the table.

I used a white linen runner I bought in France this year, on the middle of my table, keeping it wrinkly and added seeded eucalyptus and white hydrangeas along with white pumpkin boos.

It’s so simple to make a beautiful floral table setting. I haven’t done anything special, just added the florals straight to the runner making sure the hydrangea stems were short.

They won’t last long so I’ll dry them after by leaving them upright in a vase.

There is a tea pot on the table beside the white runner filled with fall items.
White flowers, and seeded branches with white pumpkins on a white table runner.

You can see my painted heirloom pumpkins in the background along with the French yogurt jar candles.

There is a white cake stand with a carrot pie on it.

The table is all set for an amazing dessert with tea brewing and carrot pie ready to be sliced. I’m just going to zip off to the kitchen to whip up some whipped cream.

The carrot pie is in the middle of the table with plates and forks laid out.

So my pastry didn’t end up the greatest this time, but that’s okay. When you bake your own pie, no one is asking for perfection.

I wanted to add fall pastry leaves everywhere but I thought why not bake them separately and add leaves to each slice.

I just used adorable leaf cookie cutters.

Orange carrot pie with carrots lying on counter.

My son gobbled up a huge slice after school and didn’t know it was made with carrots! Shhhh…

There’s something I find odd about opening a can to make a pie…pumpkin puree in a can doesn’t sound that appealing and neither does making puree pumpkin.

I love this idea to use fresh carrots!

This old family recipe of carrot pie tastes just like pumpkin pie! I love that you don’t need to open a can of pumpkin puree or go through the difficulty of preparing pumpkin puree when you can use carrots. Delish!

    Jamie, your table runner and florals are just beautiful! I love that in fall we can let the flowers dry and continue using them – dried flowers just seem to lend themselves to the season. I also love the relaxed linen napkins and pretty stacked china. And your pie looks quite good! I love the little leaves in the center. What an inviting table!!

That’s feels good for a start of the week. 💚 Design dilemma: did you know that changing the doors and trim work jn your house can bring it up to date?

Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly L Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly Lace by @benjaminmoore. First, I love Simply White. I’ve painted it everywhere in my house, walls, cabinets, doors, trim. The color is perfect in my house. In some houses it shows a yellow undertone. If it does, White Dove is usually a great choice. But this is what I learned about 6 months ago in a color course I took, Chantilly Lace has nearly zero undertone! 💚➡️ Be sure to check out my blog post on Chantilly Lace and all the real house examples. I also have posts on the best way to pick white & grey paint colors in your home. I’ll leave direct links in stories & in a highlight in my profile. 💚
