Pumpkin Pie is a great thing to make with your kids, no matter what age they are. This recipe is so simple, even a toddler can get at it. Just drop some stuff in a bowl, mix it together, ladle into a shell and bake.

Hi, I was reading your post and I just wanted to thank you for putting out such excellent content. There’s so much crap on the internet these days its hard to find anything worthwhile. I actually have cooked this recipe before, I got this book last month on recommendation from a friend http://ninjahq.com/go/cookingrecipes and it turned out quite nice! I’m extremely eager to try your variation of it though, it looks excellent. I think you might enjoy those recipes, they’re very good. Thanks for the article and great ideas.
How fun. What a lovely experience for kids and parents to share together. The little guy is pretty good with a whisk! The look of accomplishment as he eats his pie creation is priceless.
