This classic Pumpkin Pie Recipe comes straight off the back of the Libby’s can and is still one of my favorites!
This is THE pie of Thanksgiving for us.
My Grandma used this recipe and whipped up, not one, but THREE pumpkin pies for our gatherings.
They seemed to disappear just as fast as she could get them to the table. We would all reach around the apple, cherry, and chocolate, for this silky smooth pumpkin pie.
It has become one we can not live without. We rotate who brings it to our Thanksgiving table, but we all use the same recipe.
Classic Pumpkin Pie
Of course, pumpkin pie is not complete without a huge dollop of of whipped cream or cool whip. Should we get into the whipped cream vs cool whip topic?? No??
And when I say huge I mean probably double the amount of pie.
Am I the only person that does this??
Ooooooh OR ice cream. WHY have I never tried ice cream??
Regardless of how you eat it you’re sure to love this simple and delicious treat.

January 9, 2014 at 9:16 pmGood morning. Terrific web-site. I’m wondering, though, where did you get hold of the theme?
Or did you devise it for yourself? I’m creating my own blog site and am looking for a
theme as terrific as this one. Thanks again.

February 19, 2014 at 9:47 pmHello there. Merely desired to inquire a rapid question.
I’m setting up my own blog along with wish to learn in which you have ones design?
Seemed to be that cost-free? Or maybe seemed to be it compensated?
I cannot manage to come across anything at all competitive with that one, so preferably you can let me know.
Appreciate it. PS, my personal apologies. English isn’t our primary dialect.
