Taste of Pumpkin Pie

On the last day of January, I reflect fondly on the past holiday season.  Nothing beats having a slice of creamy, fresh out of the oven pumpkin pie.  It's still January, right?  The smell of cinnamon floats from the oven straight to this blog page, I just need to add some scratch and sniff capability.  This was made with Big E and C, and Big E did a wonderful job putting the whipped cream perfectly on the slice of pie.  It was delicious.  Hopefully you can enjoy this too before the winter season ends!
