Pumpkin Pie

It is definitely that time of year to make this pie. Pumpkin is Cory's favorite pie and to be honest I never really cared for it until now. My mom would always make pumpkin muffins or pumpkin bread when I was growing up, but never pumpkin pie. I know that Cory likes it so I decided to surprise him with it one day when he got home from work. I too tried it and am now a huge fan, along with Paige! I have made probably 4 pumpkin pies over the last month I think. Wow, that sounds really bad when I say it out loud like that! So far Claire is the only one in the family that isn't a fan, but you never know what the future holds. While Cory, Paige and I are having the pie, Claire is having a bowl of Cool Whip cause you can't have pumpkin pie without it!!

* I'm sure that everyone has their own recipe for Pumpkin Pie so I will not type out mine. If you don't have a recipe I just follow the recipe on the back of the can of pumpkin. My mother in law did share a little something that she adds to her pumpkin pie, 1 and a half tablespoons of whiskey. It turns the pie more of a brown color verses your usual orange and gives it a little bit more pop.
Do any of you add anything to your pie???
