Pumpkin custard is the best. I like it better than pie. Really.

And it must be spicy! None of that bland pumpkin puree for me!

(Crust-free) + (Dairy-free) + (Sugar-free) + (Gluten-free) = nothin’ but YUMMMM

This recipe is not only delicious but anti-inflammatory. You can satisfy your tastebuds AND nourish your immune system. WIN-WIN!
