As Fall encroaches on our hot days, it’s time to begin the practice of thankfulness.

Maybe you’re thankful for a successful gardening season, which is, hopefully, still on-going throughout the seasonal change. Perhaps you’re thankful for good health, a steady job, or, in our case, the gift of nourishing foods.

With pumpkin recipes already bombarding the Internet, it can be difficult to know what to make first. We encourage you to be selective in the seasonal recipes — especially the desserts — that you prepare for your families.

Choose only those with nourishing, whole foods, and you never have to feel “bad” about it!

Nourishing Pumpkin Custard Pie

Pumpkin pie is one of our favorite Fall pies. So, we present a nourishing pumpkin custard pie.

It doesn’t contain highly processed evaporated or condensed milk. Real fats from egg yolks and cream help with the absorption of pumpkin’s nutrients. Sweetening with Wildly Organic’s Coconut Sugar adds an elusive caramel flavor.

It has a perfect firm texture after it cools down completely.

We highly recommend our No-Roll Gluten-Free Pie Crust for this custard filling; however, use your favorite whole foods pie crust if you prefer.

Feel free to eat yours straight from the dish, or garnish with a generous dollop of freshly whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra cinnamon.

What’s your favorite fall pie?
