Pumpkin Pie

Got up early to make these so I could go deer hunting later. Crappy pre-made crust but with pumpkin pie its all about the guts and this recipe is the best I ever had. It’s similar to Libby’s but a slight improvement in my opinion.

Nice. I’m making mine after work.

Mmmm those look delicious!

Man, I love me some pumpkin pie! Can’t wait for tomorrow!

my wife is planning on making one and wont do it till like later! she thinks there wont be any left

not whipped cream though!!!!!! icky!!!

Pumpkin Pie is my favorite!! Banana Cream a close second. Those two pies look great!
I’m with Glenn though.. None of that whipped cream crap!

I ask my wife to make me a pumpkin pie every fall. She always declines.

This will no doubt be controversial – I don’t mind it with whipped cream, but even better on Pumpkin Pie is Cool Whip. (And you can’t say it without the emphasis “whhhhhh” )

This is just the way it was growing up for me and while it’s nothing but high fructose corn syrup and additives, it’s the ONLY way to eat pumpkin pie in my book.

Let my culinary crucifixion commence!

The only way to eat pumpkin pie is with a tub of Cool Whhhhhhip! And yes, ThunderLund I’m putting emphasis in the “h” just like Stewie!

When I was a kid. The family tradition at Gramas was. The whip cream was passed around the table. Then my piece was put in the bowl with what was left. But it was real whipped cream, in a mixing bowl. Still love it, but not had the real thing in a long time.

Nothin better than reaching in the fridge the next day, grabbin a piece right outta the tin and eating it like a cookie.

My wife made these yesterday. No harm has been done….yet!

It’s weird I will absolutely throw down some pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin spice creamer w my coffee, but actual pumpkin pie I’ll take a hard pass on. Think it’s a texture thing, or I’m just weird, most likely the latter.

I’m a heathen when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner. I hate pumpkin pie and don’t care for turkey. The turkey’s only redeeming value is the gravy it supplies for the 2 best parts of the meal, mashed potatoes and stuffing/dressing!
