Dana tried these two recipes on us and we all really enjoyed them. Neither are hard to make and since we have so much pumpkin they are great. Pumpkin freezes well and so I am preparing the pumpkin as I mentioned in last months cutting corners. I then freeze it in bags with the exact amount required for the different recipes.

½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, eggs, and sugar together until smooth. Add pumpkin and stir until combined. Stir in flour, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Beat well.
3. Pour into prepared pie shell and bake 60 minutes. Allow to cool and serve.
