Thanksgiving is next week which means many pumpkin pies will be made! This year I decided to try out an old fashioned recipe and it was delicious! Making pumpkin pie from scratch is so easy and everyone will love you for making it! I love using vintage recipe books, the recipes are always so delicious and surprisingly easy. The recipe book I am using today is called Philco Electric Recipe book.
