Pumpkin Pie Ingredients
Pumpkin Pie Directions
Preheat oven to 425 Fahrenheit (218 Celsius). If pie shells have just come out of the freezer, warm them in the oven for a couple of minutes, just until warm to the touch.
Beat eggs lightly with a whisk. Add all other ingredients and beat until smooth. Pour into pie shells.
Bake 15 minutes and then reduce temperature to 350 Fahrenheit (176 Celsius) and bake for another 45-60 minutes. Test for doneness with toothpick starting at approximately 45 minutes after lowering the oven temperature, and every 5 minutes thereafter. The toothpick should come out clean or nearly clean when the pies are done

Check out this interesting story about some perks to exercising with you pet!
One up-and-coming trend combines man and beast for a program that helps people and their pets get fit together. There's even a medical study to show it can work.
In a 12-month study, experts at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago demonstrated that both people and pets were more successful in staying with a weight loss program when they did it together. (Besides, you know how Fido hates to go to the gym alone!)
Both the people and their pets were placed on a balanced, low-calorie diet and given a 30-minute moderate activity plan to do together, three times a week. When compared to dogs only and people only, the combined people-pet group lost the most weight -- the people, an average of about 11 pounds, the dogs, about 12 pounds.
