Filling Their App-PIE-tites

We couldn’t finish out the month of November without a little Thanksgiving holiday celebration, so last week Chef Yohn fired up the stove, pulled out his knives and cutting board, measured out all of his ingredients and made special potato pies for our trio of pigs over at the ZooFarm.

The recipe is simple, and the end product looks delicious, but the real question is: did Ricky, Lucy and Ethyl pig out? Or did they turn up their noses at Chef Yohn’s creation for the celebration? Read on to find out!
