HERE'S TO YOU, PUMPKIN PIE

HERE’S TO YOU, PUMPKIN PIE! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the morning sun rises high and bright
     pumpkin pie for breakfast—oh, what a delight!

the crust is flaky, the filling so sweet,
     cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger—what a treat!.

I take a bite, and oh, such heavenly bliss,
     the flavors meld, a culinary kiss.

the pumpkin puree, its spices swirl 
     flow with whipped cream, a dream for this ol’ girl. 

so let the critics say, "Pie for breakfast? No way!"
     I'll take a slice, come what may.

so here's to you, dear pumpkin pie.
     I don’t care if you go straight to my thighs.

Line Gauthier September 1, 2025 at 7:45 PM LOL ~ I cook pumpkin pie filling as a pudding so I eat my pumpkin pie without the crust ~ love it. sara Etgen-Baker September 2, 2025 at 4:55 PM Hey, that's a great idea...less calories and more pumpkin. Will have to give it a try...thanks for visiting, Sara

David Crandall September 1, 2025 at 5:39 PM I second that emotion! Here's to pumpkin pie - well, will probably wait for Thanksgiving. sara Etgen-Baker September 2, 2025 at 4:56 PM thanks for your shared enthusiasm for all things pumpkin spice. I've already stocked up on pumpkin spice goodies. By Thanksgiving, I probably won't pumpkin :-)

Sara Kendrick September 1, 2025 at 5:02 PM Well, pumpkin pie has eggs in it and healthy fiber so there is good nutrition there despite it is called pie. I know how it feels to say to go away guilt about eating what we should not because we might gain a pound. Just don't worry about it. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K sara Etgen-Baker September 2, 2025 at 4:57 PM thanks for your kind words about eating pumpkin pie, Sara K. When I do indulge, I don't embrace guilt...otherwise the experience is lost. Appreciate your visit today, hugs, Sara B
