Pumpkin pie.
The dessert I look forward to every Thanksgiving.
The smooth consistency. The pumpkiny flavor. The warm ice cream topping. The crumbly crust. All come together to make one heck of a dessert worth waiting an entire year for.
Except this year, things will be a little different. Because of my recently-discovered egg white & wheat allergy, I’m going to have to fend for myself and create my own vegan, wheat-free version of the stuff. The challenge is on! I’ve already been scoping out inspiration from all over the internet–

I am definitely a HUGE fan of pumpkin! I will be making the pumpkin pie for my family this year (as usual), but I think I’m the only one who really likes it. Oh well, more pie for my face!
Pumpkin in general is one of those things that I have blogs to thank for my obsession. So many uses!

I actually do not like pumpkin pie…does that make me crazy?! I want to like it, I really do, but it just does not float my boat! I have no idea what I will be eating for dessert tomorrow! However, that salad looks INSANE–yum!

Please tell me you at least like apple!

I’m iffy about pumpkin. I like pumpkin lattes and in the fall I get a total craving for pie and such, but any other time of the year I’m not into it.

Pumpkin pie = yes! I actually had a slice last night after I got home from school. My mom ended up bringing home some leftover pie from our church’s Thanksgiving service on Sunday. My dad snatched the last slice of French Silk for his lunch today, unfortunately. But that’s okay. Pumpkin worked too. We could have at least two different pies tomorrow; who knows.
