Here is a great dessert for Thanksgiving dinner or Halloween. We usually had pumkin pie for dinner on Hallowen but now we make this recipe and think they are scrumptious.
This recipe comes from Everyday with Rachael Ray October 2007. what can I say we love her recipes!

There you go again LOL. Your pumpkin pie is similar to mine without the cream cheese. Sounds so delicious but I can resist, I don’t have the fixins’ in the cabinet!
Great recipe, maybe I’ll try during Thanksgiving.
