Restaurant-Style Pumpkin Pie

You should see the pile of recipes I have stacked up waiting for me to post them to my blog.
The notebook papers with my notes all over them is a bit over-whelming.
I have been wanting to get some of these posted for months, but I just run out of time.
So, each day I dedicating one-hour to post, which means there might be post overload until the end of the month because I want to dwindle this pile down and start fresh with new recipes for 2014!
It is a lofty goal, I am well aware of that.
I could schedule them to post later...but nope, I am going to go for it and just post away.
So if you are one of my email subscribers, I am sorry in advance for all the emails you may be receiving! :)

Get your bake on for the holidays!

That being said, I have literally wanted to post this recipe since Thanksgiving three years ago.
When I made this the first time I was super leery. I was chancing not adding evaporated milk and sugar.
But, to my surprise, this is thee absolute best pumpkin pie I have ever baked. It is super simple and tastes light, not-too sweet, has a great texture, and well is just my favorite pumpkin pie.

If you bake a pumpkin pie during the remaider of the year...this should be the one you try!
