The best homemade pumpkin pie recipe! Tried and tested over and over again, with zero cracking! This will become your go-to pumpkin pie recipe.

Thanksgiving week is upon us!! Bring on the Pumpkin Pie and Turkey!! I’m thinking about buying a deep freezer just so I can buy multiple turkeys and have a place to store them. The prices for these birds are AMAZING! I love me a good turkey, ya’ll.

I’m also all about those post-turkey tryptophan induced ~~food comas~~ naps.

Except this year, I think my sister-in-law is making ham instead of turkey….soooo all the more reason to buy 17 birds to fill up this deep freezer. AMIRIGHT?

Lauren, you’re always right!

Thanks, friends. I know I can always count on you. 🙂

My husband, however, is completely against buying a deep freezer. Not because it’s a bad idea {because clearly all my ideas are brilliant} but because the only place to put it would be in the garage. Normally, this is not a big deal. We store lots of stuff in our garage. But something as big as a deep freezer means no more space in the garage for his car. In the winter, we park both our vehicles indoors away from the elements {read: Oregon rain}, but the deep freezer would kick him out into the cold.

My dedication to turkey is apparently at the same level as my husband’s dedication to his car…slash staying warm and dry between his {5 foot} trips to or from his Honda Accord. Whatevs.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.

So I shall live another day without a deep freezer. But mark my words, one day I WILL PREVAIL.

But in the mean time: PUMPKIN PIE!

Everyone and their mom has a recipe for this that they are cracking out this week for the holidays.

Since I’m still in the midst of my “oh crap, I need to make a pie to bring to this Thanksgiving feast” series, I thought I would make a crazy easy 5-ingredient pumpkin pie that is completely fool-proof. It will turn out perfectly every time and it’s a good solid fall-back recipe that everyone will be impressed by! If you have a little more time and/or are a little more organized than me, feel free to make your own pie crust. This recipe is my favorite. Regardless of whether you buy or make your crust, the rest of the pumpkin pie recipe is rock solid. It WILL NOT fail you.

Maybe it’s hard to impress with pumpkin pie, but at my house, anything topped with whipped cream gets lots of oohs and ahhs.

Do you see? Perfectly smooth top with no cracks 🙂 Perfection!
