Make pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin - CHECK!

___________

Honestly, I never really knew that people ever made pumpkin pies from a REAL pumpkin.  Canned pumpkin hails at my house.

____________ 

The pumpkins used are not normal carving pumpkins.  They are referred to as

pie pumpkins

or

sugar pumpkins,

or a similar name. 

____________

Personally, I think that everyone should try making food/meals as

homemade

 as possible as often as possible simply because it's

always better. 

That's why our

grandma's

food is so delicious- she's got all the

secret homemade recipes!

With my grandma's homemade crust, this pie was a hit at my house.  I am begging

everyone to try making a homemade real pumpkin pie at some point this fall

(Thanksgiving is comin' up fast!). 

Not only does it taste better, but honestly,

what's better that having the feeling of doing something from scratch and having everyone love it?? 

To me, having people adore the food that I dedicated extra time to is... priceless.

Here is the recipe that I used. 

Pumpkin Pie (scroll down a bit for the link to the actual recipe)

She made a canned and real pumpkin pie and took them

"to the streets"

 to see which was preferred.

Guess which pie won??
