@Emily - Pumpkin pie spice is just a mix of other stuff you probably already have: Nutmeg, Ground Allspice, Ground Ginger, and Cinnamon http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-pie-spice-i/

Hi Paula (again), While you are the Queen of Southern cooking and cuisine, I could probably at least qualify as Princess...and this comment is totally unrelated to any of the above recipes, but had an observation and wanted to bring it to ya'lls (and yes I say ya'll all the time unconciously...LOL)...attention as a question. I watch food network alot, particularly You, Giada and Ina Garten. I love all of your cooking...but I notice that no one on food network uses Paprika. It is such a wonderful forgotten spice, I put it in everything, it give such great color, which I love in all my food without adding any extra flavor or heat really. I only use miracle whip in everything, never mayonnaise...but in all my salads I not only mix Paprika with my Miracle whip before mixing but I also add it on top with a litte black pepper usually for added color, in macaroni, pasta salads, chicken, turkey, (don't do tuna ever), egg salad, and any others. Actually Miracle whip used to have little red flecks which I am fairly certain was Paprika, I do not see them now, so have to add my own to the jar, but anyway just wanted to comment about what a wonderful overlooked spice I think Paprika is and would love to see all of you use it a little more. It is great in soup and stews, chili in addition to chili powder or hot sauce, to give sauce a depth of color, I just use it in almost anything and everything...even scrambled eggs and always in casseroles...My tip for the day. Love you guys. Suzanne Byrd A True Princess of Southern Cuisine. (LOL)

Hi Paula, I was never a fan of pumpkin pie growing up, but actually found a pumpkin chiffon pie recipe a few years ago after my Mother passed away (she love regular pumpkin pie), and now love my Chiffon pie...it is a little different from yours, no marshmallows or whipped topping, but instead I put part brown and part white sugar, lots of pure vanilla extract, butter of course (the recipe did not call for it, but cannot imagine pumpkin pie without butter),pie spice of course, but what makes it chiffon is you seperate the eggs, cook the pumpkin mixture with yolks on top of the stove let it cool completely in the refrig...and then beat and fold in the egg whites...it is scrumptious and then serve with fresh whipped cream like you do. Love it...

Totally awesome as pumpkin pies go. I don't usually like pumpkin pie, but thought I'd give this one a try. Not only is it a cinch to make, but really delicious! I had to make it for my family again just days after Thanksgiving.

WOW! This pie is incredibly easy to make. It is light and creamy and yummy. I'll never make a conventional pumpkin pie again. My Thanksgiving guests loved it. Karen, Pittsburgh,Pa.
