looking for a recipe please help!
Below is a link (you may have to copy and paste) to Eatingwell magazine's Pumpkin Rum Pie. I doubt this is the recipe you are looking for, but it is a nice start. I don't know the calorie content for the typical pumpkin pie, but this recipe sounded interesting and tasty. If you don't use this one, just know that Eatingwell has lots of great recipes!
Happy Cooking!

Sandy...click the www under this post....I put up a little website last year for the holidays with some good recipes....go take a peek
As for me....I'm making the sugar free pumpkin roll that Susan Maria developed a few years ago. It is really scrumpious....and I make it with Splenda and not the Maltitol sugar replacement. I can't tolerate that stuff. Its a little work...but well worth it. This year...I'm going to make a little extra filling...tint it orange..thin it and drizzle it over the top....
Good luck....and Happy Thanksgiving...
