The second entry to my Seasonal Sweet Journal is this simple yet delicious pumpkin pie that reminds me a bit of cheesecake
The recipe is very simple & doesn't require a lot of ingredients, but it makes such a delicious treat for the tea time, or in the morning with coffee, a good book, and the color of the everchanging trees outside.
