I met Kristin through a forum and she has a passion for creation - everything she makes, she uses in her own home, so you know it is of the most excellent quality and that she adds a dash of love to everything she does.

Kristin has a line of bath and body products are 100% Vegan an eco-friendly, which is a huge selling point for me because I don't use products tested on animals. ♥ She also has goat's milk soap and oatmeal and honey soap, which is very soothing!
Kristin created this delectable pie just for you guys, and my mouth waters just reading the recipe! It looks so scrumptious!

Using fingers, evenly press half of the crumb crust mixture into the bottom and sides of an 8-or 9-inch pie dish.

Are you a fan of pumpkin foods?
Awesome feature! I'm not really a fan of pumpkin food because it almost always has cinnamon in it and I'm allergic to cinnamon.
ReplyDeleteI'm hungry :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I have been drooling over this pie for days - need to learn how to bake!
DeleteMolly, You can easily leave out the cinnamon with this. The Maple flavor is enough on it's own if you wanted to cut back on the cinnamon. I just happen to be a fan :)
ReplyDeleteI love maple scented stuff. And maple flavored stuff. All time favorite treat is maple cotton candy!
DeleteLove pumpkin!!
ReplyDeleteMe too, I could eat pumpkin pie every day of the year!
