Pumpkin pie is a traditional North American sweet dessert usually made in the late autumn and early winter, especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The pumpkin is a symbol of harvest time and featured also at Halloween. The pie consists of a pumpkin-based custard, ranging in color from orange to brown, baked in a single pie shell, rarely with a top crust. The pie is generally flavored with nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger and is traditionally served with whipped cream. This pie is often made from canned pumpkin or packaged pumpkin pie filling (spices included); this is a seasonal product available in bakeries and grocery stores. Canned pumpkin in the U.S. usually consists of butternut squash[citation needed] which is sweeter than regular pumpkin. The pumpkin is native to North America. It was an early export to France; from there it was introduced to Tudor England, and the flesh of the “pompion” was quickly accepted as a pie filler. The Pilgrims brought the pumpkin pie back to New England, but it subsequently died out in England itself. (NYT December 24, 2007; A Dessert With a Past, By Kate Colquhoun [1])

3. The Thanksgiving Plan
November 08, 2007
Last year was not the best Thanksgiving ever for me. I didn't have enough seating for everyone, I burnt the pumpkin pie and I was not impressed with my stuffing. It could have been worse though, my great aunt wasn't able to pick apart the dining ware as I had just bought brand new from Pier One. Ha!
The one thing that I learned from last year was that I needed a plan. Not just any plan. I needed a Thanksgiving plan that would not end in a Thanksgiving horror story. I knew that this year I wanted to make sure that I didn't burn any of the foods, while also creating wonderful food for my fa... (read more)

5. Maple Pumpkin Pie
October 18, 2007
What would autumn be like without pumpkin pie? Fortunately, we may never know. Pumpkin pie is very much a part of Autumn in America, dating back to the early settlers. This pie recipe, however, is special, because it adds the gentle flavor of natural maple syrup. It is pretty, too, by adding maple leaves made out of extra crust to float on top of the pie, making it particularly suitable for festivities such as Thanksgiving.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit
For crust:
1 ½ cups white flour
1 tsp salt
2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
½ cup shortening

7. How to Choose a Plan That's Right for You
December 12, 2006
If you like pumpkin pie than you¡¯ll like zone diet meals. In fact, if you like a lot of things you¡¯ll like a zone diet. That is because you can eat almost anything you want, as long as it¡¯s in the right proportions.
Unlike weight loss diets that focus on cutting one thing like calories or carbohydrates, zone diet meals use a strict proportional guide of 40/30/30. This means 40 percent of the calories you take in should be from carbohydrates, 30 percent from proteins, and 30 percent from low fat foods.
You can probably already see how confusing and time consuming it woul... (read more)

8. Thanksgiving and Christmas Are Not An Excuse to Get Fat! Avoid Holiday Weight Gain
November 29, 2006
It is that time of year again! Time to fill yourself on ham and turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes, and don’t forget the pumpkin pie and eggnog!! Each holiday season we tend to make excuses for ourselves, and why it is ok to binge on food and overeat.
