Sorry, Libby's; but mine is better, hands down. Everyone flips and asks for my recipe and then makes it their new holiday tradition, as well. Yours is good. Mine is just a lil' better. ;) Hope you all enjoy this as much as we do. More than happy to share! Happy Holidays!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Rich and creamy, this is a much better pumpkin pie recipe than is found on the can. Don't get us wrong, it's a great recipe. We love the spices Kelly adds. That's what makes this pumpkin pie recipe special. If you're not a fan of traditional pumpkin pie spice, you'll love this. It's heavier on the cinnamon. Ginger and nutmeg are more subtle. A delicious holiday pie topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
