Fall is here and Thanksgiving will be here soon, with lots of friends and family around who love to eat. When it comes to making homemade food for holiday guests, I think pie has to be my favorite dish to make, since there is never any left to have to throw away. With this pie recipe I just found, not sure I can even get a piece at Thanksgiving. This recipes is a twist on the classic pumpkin pie that now includes Fireball Whiskey.

Now that I’m an adult, I still indulge in pumpkin pie as often as I can, but I just about keeled over when I saw that the BBQ Pit Boys had somehow made pumpkin pie even better.
