Add eggs and beat eggs into pumpkin mixture with a fork. Add evaporated milk and milk and mix well. Place in pie crust (cover the edge of the crust with aluminum foil to prevent burning) and bake for 25 minutes in 375 degree oven.

Under Appetizers+ Soups
We had family over for Halloween this year and I made this soup as a starter. I roasted two fresh sugar pumpkins and a couple sweet potatoes along with some spices, which filled the house with such a comfortable aroma. This Fall we visited Napa for our anniversary and picked up some quality white truffle oil, it was the perfect topper for the soup.

This easy banana nut pumpkin cake is delicious. It is very moist. I had left over pumpkin pie filling. (easy Libby’s) and ran out of pie crust. I didn’t want to make any more crust or go the store for ready-made pie crust, so I combined banana bread mix with a can of pumpkin to make a delicious dessert. Great for the holidays!
