Oh, we used to make this exact recipe or something really similar at the retirement home where I worked for 3 years before I got married. I LOVED it and wrote down the recipe along with a few of my other favorite ones before I quit cooking for those 100 dear residents to where I now cook for my very own 12 precious “residents” who seem to eat about the same amount as the 100 But I somehow misplaced the notebook of recipes I copied during one of our moves…so, I’m so excited to have this one as I think it is THE one (or looks really close!). My mom bought me lots of canned pumpkin while we were in the states, so I will definately be trying this.
And I was just thinking about you all today when I was washing dishes wondering when you’d post another “Taste Away from Home” recipe
We are almost finished with “Autumn” and last week, the children began learning their verses and songs again for our family Christmas program which we printed up from your site a couple years ago. Little Nehemiah has Luke 2:14 for his verse…but he doesn’t really talk a lot yet…so he says, “Ah, Ah, uh, uh, Ah-ah (highest), uh, uh, uh, peas (peace), baby, baby, baby (good will toward men).” Then he claps as he is so very proud of himself.
love and prayers,
Jaynee

I never taste pumpkin pie until I met my mother-in-law and my husband. In our culture and in my family we never taste these…now I love it.

I like it warm though…I can’t eat it too cold though…thanks for your recipe…
