"I got this from last year's Better Home & Garden's November issue. The article said it was originally published November 1955. I made it early to test for Thanksgiving, and fell in love with it! My mom was doubtful when I described it (she doesn't like change), but was impressed when she tried it. Of the 3 pies I made for the actual Thanksgiving meal, this one disappeared the fastest! I'm definitely sticking with this recipe. Prep time doesn't include making the pie crust."

Nice pumpkin flavor. I made this last week for company and everyone loved it. Made for PAC 2011.

Since that time I have become more conscious of nutrition and the role it plays in every aspect of our lives. Our second DD was just born, and all is going well. I try to make the majority of our food from scratch, adding in nutritional enhancers when I can. :) I discovered I love baking bread last winter, and have been trying heartier whole-grain recipes. This summer we planted a huge garden (another first for me!) and I learned how to can. We are already looking forward to next year, as we learned so much (and have so much to change!) this summer about organic gardening.
