Pumpkin Pie

This traditional pumpkin recipe is a staple at Thanksgiving meals. It can be made ahead and refrigerated. An alternative pumpkin pie is this easy no-bake recipe which makes 2 pies. The pecans are optional, so if you are in a hurry or don’t care for nuts, simply omit them. Without the nuts, it’s just a [...]

Greet Fall With This Wonderful Pumpkin Trifle

Menus4Moms: Pumpkin Trifle

This beautiful dessert is almost as much fun to look at as it is to eat. With gingerbread, pumpkin, gingersnaps, and pudding, you know it is going to be good. if you don’t have a trifle bowl, you can use a large, clear salad bowl. You can probably get away with making just one gingerbread recipe if you want to – I used about 1-1/2 of the two that I made when I prepared it in a trifle bowl, and you can see that I almost ran out of room in the bowl.
