PUMPKIN PIEEEEEEEE!! It’s so weird when people don’t like pumpkin pie. I’m still friends with those kinds of people, but it’s hard. Pumpkin pie should be eaten all year round, but it really only feels normal during fall. When it’s freezing out. And it’s freezing here. So I’m hibernating and stuffing my face. And what’s better during the winter than pumpkin pie? OHHHH. Almond milk egg nog. Yep, that’s right. I found some at Whole Foods and loved it. Califia Farms has almond milk egg nog with ingredients that don’t bother me. So I added that to my pumpkin pie. Happy me.
OMG I saw Catching Fire this weekend. If you’ve never heard of The Hunger Games trilogy, you must not have a tv or know how to read books. Which is strange, since you’re reading this post. Either way, I saw the second movie from the Hunger Games trilogy and it was awesome. It was even better than the first one. And it was even more exciting because I hadn’t read the books in forever, so I really had no idea what was going on. Which kind of sucked since I had to pee the entire movie. Those blood curdling screams would get me every time. And I would jump…but thankfully I have a pretty strong bladder. I haven’t peed while doing double unders yet. That’s proof, right? So I didn’t pee during the screams. But I felt a lot of anxiety throughout the movie.
That just got weird.
Just FYI, I finished the entire first season of Homeland. Disappointed with the season finale, but I will go on. Meaning I’ve already watched the first two episodes of the second season. Do you think Carrie is actually crazy in real life? How is she so good with the crazy eyes? How does that just come normal. Creepy.
I wish I had more to tell you. But that is all. So I’m going to go eat more pie. While I watch Homeland.

Confession: I stalled going to the grocery store because I was waiting for this recipe to be posted this a.m. after seeing your IG preview last night. And now I’m off! Thanks, Juli!!
haha yayy!!
I totally agree Catching Fire was even better. Hated when it was over. Can’t wait to see her kick ass in the next one!
It’s nice to watch the progression of your food pics over time. Really stunning.
I’d like to make this today, think it will be fine a few days in advance?
thank you so much!! and yes! the longer it sits in the refrigerator, the more it holds together. that’s why mine is falling just a bit
I love, love, LOVE the combination of pumpkin and gingerbread — one of my favorite non-Paleo recipes is pumpkin gingerbread and I’m pretty sure that bread is the reason my fiance fell in love with me. I’ll have to try this and see if he likes it! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank You!!!! I am so making this! I love pumpkin pie. You don’t need to bake crust separately, first?
nope
Seems like too much work 🙁
man up
It was not hard to make at all and looks beautiful, can’t wait to try it tomorrow!
I see no ginger for the gingerbread crust, is this correct?
ginger is in the pumpkin pie spice 🙂 you could always add more though!
I can’t wait to make this. I love gingerbread and pumpkin. Yum.
Dude.
(Sorry I just called you “Dude”.)
Two of my son’s favorite flavors together forever: pumpkin & eggnog. Why didn’t I think of that?! You are a genius. Genius! (That probably would have been a better prelude than “dude.”)
Loved Catching Fire. I’m not a crazy-fan, but I did see it twice and I totally want to go back and see it again. Jennifer Lawrence is amazing.
Again, sorry about the dude-thing.
I don’t see any actual ginger in the crust, only pumpkin pie spice (which might or might not include powdered ginger). So to me it’s more of a molasses-almond crust. But it still looks delicious.
ginger is in the pumpkin pie spice 🙂 you could always add more though!
This recipe looks awesome. My question is-Does this just taste like gingerbread b/c I don’t see ginger mentioned in the ingredient list? Is it just in the pumpkin pie spice? I can’t wait to make it! Thank you!
