8 Great Things About Pumpkin Pie

1. It tastes great.
2. Whoever heard you could get a serving of vegetables from a dessert?!
3. Pumpkin Pie is an excellent source of Vitamin A (a vitamin that is important for our immune system and eye health).
4. It is made with eggs so you also get 7 grams of protein with it. It's pretty much a complete meal in itself :)
5. If you are watching your weight or diabetic, don't eat the crust or make crustless pumpkin pie and save yourself some calories and fat while still enjoying a yummy, healthy dessert.
6. Why not have it for breakfast with hot coffee or tea? (my favorite morning after Thanksgiving breakfast)
7. You also get a little fiber from the pumpkin puree'
8. It tastes great warm or cold

Do I need to convince you anymore to enjoy your pumpkin pie without guilt this year?!
