Pumpkin pie recipes

One of the best things about this Thanksgiving is that our friends that came over are awesome cooks!  Annissa and I often talk about food and recipes and we definitely had a great time sampling her dishes.  She had been telling me about this pumpkin pie recipe, and I must admit that it did not disappoint.  It tasted like traditional pumpkin pie with a kick.
