I know it is a weird time of the year to share a pumpkin recipe with you but one of my husband’s favorite desserts is pumpkin pie. I made this dessert for him to celebrate Valentine’s Day since he loves pumpkin so much. My sons love to eat this for breakfast during the school week. It is an old recipe that I found in my recipe box so I am not sure where it came from but it is very good and it freezes well.
