Sinful Pumpkin Pie
Don loves pumpkin pie. Notice I said Don loves pumpkin pie – I don’t even like pumpkin pie. BUT since I love Don, I thought I’d make him the mother of all pumpkin pies.
He told me it was truly deliciously Sinful. I had to give half of it away before he made himself sick eating it.
Try it for yourself during the holidays or just because you LOVE pumpkin pie.
