    Ingredients

    • 1 can pumpkin puree

    • 3/4 cup brown sugar

    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

    • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

    • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

    • 1/2 teaspoon salt

    • 2/3 cup heavy cream

    • 2 tablespoons bourbon

    • 2 large eggs

    • 1 pie shell unbaked

    Directions

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to allow it to reach the desired temperature for baking the pie.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
    • Whisk the mixture until all dry ingredients are well incorporated into the pumpkin puree without any lumps remaining.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, bourbon, and eggs until smooth and fully combined.
    • Gradually add the cream mixture to the pumpkin puree mixture, stirring continuously until smooth and homogeneous.
    • Pour the complete filling into the prepared, unbaked pie shell, spreading it evenly to ensure a level surface.
    • Place the pie on the center oven rack and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set.
    • Check the pie by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean from the center of the pie.
    • Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to set completely.
    • Refrigerate any leftover pie and serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    It’s National Splurge Day — And BOGO Week Just Started at Five Major Chains

    BOGO Week is a great opportunity to share a meal rather than eat double — splitting the second item with someone means you get the deal without doubling your calorie intake. Of the five options this week, the Tropical Smoothie Cafe BOGO is the most nutritionally sound choice, since smoothies made with real fruit provide natural vitamins and fiber. The Subway BOGO on a 6-inch sub is another smart pick — load it up with vegetables and choose a lean protein like turkey to keep the meal balanced. If you’re hitting multiple chains this week, spacing them out across the full seven days rather than stacking them in one or two days is a practical way to enjoy the savings without overdoing it.

    The Curious Life of Food Trends and Why They Keep Coming Back

    Research on dietary trends and public health consistently finds that food trends driven by genuine nutritional evidence — the Mediterranean diet, the increased consumption of fermented foods, the shift toward whole grains and legumes — produce lasting improvements in population dietary quality, while trends driven primarily by marketing or social signaling tend to produce short-term behavioral changes that revert when the trend recedes. The most durable dietary improvements come from understanding why specific foods are nutritionally valuable rather than simply following the cultural moment that made them fashionable — making nutritional literacy a more reliable guide to healthy eating than trend-following.
