After last year’s struggles with the gluten free pie crust mix, I’ve decided to make a pumpkin dessert that does not require a crust.

I’ve been searching for good pumpkin pie recipes in all the Thanksgiving cooking magazines. Imagine my surprise when I noticed that Food & Wine and Martha Stewart Living magazines don’t have any! Sacrilegious! Isn’t there some kind of law that says you must serve pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving or you’ll be banned from future family [...]

This year we’re going to a friend’s home for Thanksgiving. I’ve been asked to bring dessert. Besides the Pumpkin Streusel Cheesecake, I’d like to make a traditional (or not-so-traditional) pumpkin pie. But which one?
