There are a few things we’re excited about during this time of year.
1. Thanksgiving—and getting the chance to spend the day with loved ones.
2. The Black Friday sale that follows (RIP Credit Cards).
3. Pumpkin spice with EVERYTHING, which brings us to our next point…
This pumpkin pie recipe by Teresa Cutter, better known as The Healthy Chef, is created with just three ingredients, making it the perfect festive food idea to share with family and friends this holiday season.
It’s a creative twist on the classic pumpkin pie and of course still hails pumpkin as the star ingredient. Oven roasted with a sprinkle of cinnamon for a natural sweetness, what we love most about this dish is that it can either be turned into a sweet or savoury option depending on your personal taste!
