The pie crust recipe is a pretty traditional version that I have tweaked just a little; very similar to my Browned Butter Pie Crust, although I didn't brown the butter for this version because, slab pie is not about extra steps, am I right? The filling is almost identical to the filling I used for the Gluten Free Pumpkin Dump Cake.
The only change I made was substituting granulated sugar for brown sugar. I didn't need the brown sugar in the filling for the dump cake, because it was already in the topping. This pie crust isn't sweet, though, so I wanted a rich molasses flavor in the filling.
Lets talk about those little pumpkins that look like so much work, but were actually super easy. It has nothing to do with having the right skills, but everything to do with having the right tool! These fall pie crust cutters from Sur La Table made it as easy as using a cookie cutter. They have a little plunger on them that pushes the design into the crust, and then you push the edge down and cut it out.
Rather than laying down the unbaked pie crust on the unbaked filling, I baked the pumpkins separately and then put them on (carefully) right after the pie came out of the oven. I don't like the way it looks as much when you lay the unbaked design on the raw pumpkin custard, because the design usually sinks in partially before it's finished baking, and then it just isn't as cute!
When it comes to pie, I'm all about cute. There should be enough dough for you to make even more pumpkins than are pictured here. For this, I only needed 40-45, but I baked about 50, but there was a little dough leftover. You could probably make 75, especially if you rolled it a little thinner. Do whatever design you want!

Much has been said about the latest in the healthcare sector. Politicians' continue to bicker and have no solid plan to replace the current plan. Certain Analysts believe if this Trump Administration plan passes the Senate their proposal will leave over 23 million people without coverage by the year 2026. The Affordable Care Act law is and was simply put in place to help the American people who were once unable to get any type of coverage, finally get the care he or she may need. Secondly, it has also helped more than enough individuals with pre-existing conditions get coverage as well. And thirdly there is the concern of affordability; this is for people who do not have enough money to pay for insurance on their own, the current law provides financial assistance for those eligible to receive money from the government.
The problem with today's guidelines are the plans are based on: age, geographic location, the ability to pay, the rising cost of medical technology and taxes. Notice there is nothing mentioned about your overall health conditions. Until the underwriting process is brought back into the equation, then insurers' will never be able to accurately measure their risk and set premium prices at affordable rates. The message to insurers' is the fact that no one should be denied health insurance due to their finances or health related conditions to help protect against their financial losses when and if they occurred.
During this era a majority of insurance companies especially those that specialize in the health sector jumped on the band wagon with lower premiums knowing financial assistance would be there to help pay for coverage. Plans were and are designed to basically take the American peoples' money first before paying any claims. Once the claims began to come from more than enough people, then insurers' realized their premiums were set too low and began experiencing financial losses. There is no coincidence today why as consumers we hear about large health carriers pulling out of the marketplace and are no longer willing to participate this coming 2018 season under the ACA format.
The solution for consumers, we have to educate ourselves and grasp a good understanding and not listen to all the rhetoric in the media. We need a suite of insurance products to benefit us in the event there are some types of loss. Whether its a loss of life, the inability to work for certain period of time, or failing health our money needs to be protected at reasonable rates. Do this now while you are still healthy with the right kind of life and health insurance plans; underwriting is the key.
There are more than enough life and health insurance companies who offer benefits to protect your money. They never moved into this whole affordable care dilemma. Insurance today is still being sold on the premise of an individual's risk factors. These type of plans whether they are: accident, cancer, critical illness, dread disease, hospitalization, preventive care and wellness, also known as MEC (minimum essential coverage) or life insurance policies are and will always be available.
The Affordable Care Act is a good law that needs to be revised and not replaced. In today's environment of government uncertainty, why listen to such chaos? "People perish because of a lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6a. Now that you have been given this knowledge, perish not; be encouraged and do the right thing for your family and your finances.
