Since I'm sure many of you are planning your menus at this time as well, I wanted to share one of my favorite recipes: Pumpkin Chiffon Pie! It is much lighter than your traditional pumpkin pie, which is perfect for right after you stuff yourself with turkey. The pumpkin chiffon pie is made with a graham cracker crust which is really the absolute best crust.... as far as crusts are concerned. Crust. Crust. Crust. I think I can say it a few more times! I like to make this the night before, so that it is done & I can focus on the main event: the bird! Enjoy this recipe; I'm sure everyone at your table with love it! And let me know if you try it out!
