Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Pumpkin Pie Recipe, who knew it was so easy to make? If I had known, I would have started making pumpkin pies way before I did.

Pumpkins were introduced to white men by the native Americans, who used the fruit centuries before the pilgrims even arrived. They are great for making soup, pies and stews. Plus, pumpkins are low in calories, fat, and sodium and high in fiber. They are good sources of Vitamin A, Vitamin B, potassium, protein, and iron.

Isn’t it just great when something so delicious turns out to be also good for your health? I love these win/win situations! Pumpkin pie is a great example…
