Cream Cheese Pumpkin Pie



Are you ready for fall recipes?  I'm completely in the mood for soups, and warm breads and desserts.  Mmmmm. . . .

And Thanksgiving is coming up soon too!!  That makes me VERY excited.  How can I not love a day where I can eat ti my heart's content?  This is one of my new favorite pies, and it's on Captain Jax's small list of pies he will eat--Regular pumpkin pie is on the top of the list.

The combination of cheesecake and pumpkin into a pie form is wonderful, and gives your mouth a perfect creamy fall combination.  Top with whipped cream and it's enough to make you sigh in contentment.

Thinking about pie has made me curious. . .what's your favorite pie?
