Hi,
Planning to bake my Thanksgiving pies soon. I usually do pecan and pumpkin pie since my husband like it. The pumpkin pie recipe in on back of the libby's canned pumpkin. I wanted something different up a notch. The smooth texture you get at bakeries. Any suggestions would be great!

I tried a pumpkin pie with cream cheese from Paula Deen but it tasted kind of strange. So I am sticking to the old fashion pumpkin pie.:chef:
