\"Grandma<\/p>\n

It’s that time of year again \u2013 the holidays are fast approaching and as many of you know, the season kicks off with my favorite holiday: Thanksgiving. One of the many reasons I look forward to Thanksgiving is because it\u2019s the season of Grandma Elsie\u2019s Famous Pumpkin Chiffon Pie and other crowd-favorite recipes, and special time with family and friends.<\/p>\n

Grandma Elsie and Her Special Tradition<\/h2>\n

For those of you who don’t know the story behind Grandma Elsie and her famous Pumpkin Chiffon Pie (which is the best I\u2019ve ever tasted), I’d like to share it. For those of you who do, I hope you’ll indulge me in a retelling to honor the woman whose generous spirit and tradition are behind the pies.<\/p>\n

Instead of getting holiday gifts for friends and neighbors, Elsie Edelstein, who I adopted as my grandmother, made pumpkin pies and hand-delivered them before Thanksgiving. The blessing, as she used to say, was in the making (\u201cfood brings people together\u201d) and in the giving (“it\u2019s better to give than receive!\u201d).<\/p>\n

A tradition that started with one creative and thoughtful woman was quickly adopted by her daughters and grandchildren, along with friends and neighbors.<\/p>\n

And these aren\u2019t any old pies.<\/p>\n

The Famous Pumpkin Pie Recipe<\/h2>\n

These are the most delicious, mouth-watering pumpkin pies you\u2019ve ever had. Even people who don\u2019t like pumpkin pies love her now-famous recipe. You can, too, and here’s the recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For more than two decades, The Grossman Group has adopted her wonderful tradition by passing along Elsie\u2019s famous pie and spice mix recipes<\/span> to friends, clients, and colleagues in our network.<\/p>\n

You’ll see there are a heap of recipes using Grandma Elsie’s famous spices<\/a>! From scrumptious breakfast to dinner with a twist, tasty snacks, elegant drinks, and decadent desserts, there’s something for everyone as you gather around the table with friends and family over the Thanksgiving holiday.<\/p>\n

Coming Together for the Holidays<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve always felt that Thanksgiving is a great holiday because it prompts me to take time to recognize all the things I\u2019m grateful for. For me, it\u2019s my family, time with my children (although they\u2019re at the age where they\u2019re less interested in spending time with me!), our health, and my team at The Grossman Group.<\/p>\n

For\u00a025 years, we\u2019ve been engaging employees and helping leaders lead with heart. We\u2019re grateful to have the opportunity to partner with our clients in navigating evolving workplace challenges with communication strategies that empower teams and produce impressive business results. It brings us such joy to help organizations connect with their people in new and meaningful ways, and to help leaders see the difference they can make when they lead with their heart, first.<\/p>\n

What are you grateful for this year?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014David Grossman<\/p>\n\n
