Pumpkin Pie

1 unbaked 9-inch (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites
1 can (15 oz.) LIBBY'S 100% Pure Pumpkin
1 can (12 fl. oz.) NESTLÉ CARNATION Evaporated Fat Free Milk
Light whipped cream (optional)

MIX sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger and salt in small bowl. Beat egg whites lightly in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk.
POUR into pie shell.
BAKE in preheated 425° F. oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350° F.; bake for additional 30 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Garnish with light whipped cream, if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate. (Do not freeze as this will cause filling to separate from crust.)

Sunday Blessings!!!

Do you ever hear something that  perfectly describes your feelings?

My son and I were driving in the car the other day. We were listening to a CD we have had for a long time. We

were both in a quiet mood just listening to the music and I was so moved by the power of these words I

wanted to share them with you. They say it all…so I am going to leave you with them.

Have a wonderful Sunday!!!

Lots of Love!!!

~~~No guilt in life, no fear in death This is the power of Christ in me From life's first cry to final breath Jesus

commands my destiny No power of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His Hand 'til He returns

or calls me home Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.~~~

Some News!!!

Happy Sunday everyone!!! I hope ya’ll had a wonderful Halloween!!! Ours was fairly quiet. A few trick or

treaters and some football. Our team lost…boo hoo :( but we managed to have a good time anyway.

 

I am taking a little bloggy break. Our family has been hit hard by the H1N1 virus. My husband, daughter and

son all have contracted the virus over the last couple of weeks. Everyone is recovering well but I need to catch

up on some things around our house and get our lives back on track and under control.

 

When I come back I am planning another giveaway…I already have the items I want to share…I think you

will like them!!!

I hope ya’ll have a wonderful week!!! I will be back soon!!!

Lots of Love!!!
