I have mentioned it before and I’ll say it again…I do not like pumpkin pie. Yes, I know what you are thinking and just imagine I may nbe the only person that doesn’t like it! They was always made by my precious Mama and Grandma every holiday.
A huge dollop of cream on top and my, oh my, dear Daddy was a happy man! I on the other hand, never inherited the love of pumpkin pie. I do love pumpkin bread, cookies, muffins and now, this dip. Just don’t give me a slice Mama’s pumpkin pie or I’ll have to hurt feeling and not eat it. Check out this recipe on The Great Eggo Waffle Off!
