Comments on: Is pumpkin pie good for you? http://www.hornswaggled.com/2006/10/04/is-pumpkin-pie-good-for-you/ A state of confusion.

I keep telling my friends that it's the best deal in the U.S. I mean, it's a giant fresh baked delicious pie, for $5.99! How can they make money on this? They must just use it to bring the people in to buy other stuff. Anyway, back on this topic, I too wonder about the negative health consequences of something so tasty. Other than black coffee, there aren't too many other low cal treats. I did notice that during a period of a month I had a non-stop Pumpkin pie marathon and I ended up getting a few of those white cholesterol pimples below my eyes. I am sure it is related to all these Costco pies. I hope that is the only price I have to pay! Wow I have eaten about 8 Costco Pies already this year.

I am always in charge of the pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. I use brown sugar pumpkins that I roast in the oven - boiling pumpkins adds too much water to the pumkin. Plys, roasted pumpkin is easy to scoop of the rinds...less work! I haven't started on the crust yet, but I have learned that mom (who had a heart attack this summer) can eat Parkay - so I will use that for the butter and egg substitute and skim evaporated milk. Not sure what to replace the molases with - it gives it the "store bought" color my sister needs in a pie! I am sure I can use frozen parkay for the crust and maybe whole wheat flour - I will test on the family first. Fat free cool whip to top it all off!

Sometimes I just eat the filling, I had no idea that the crust was bad for you. Now I have a reason to gut the pie and leave the lonely crust alone! Thanks for the info Ashley.

It's so good. So having it be good for you makes it that much better. Also warm it in the microwave a couple of seconds before you eat it, it's amazing.

I really would like to know for sure. I'm sure it depends on how the pie is made. Perhaps if it is a no sugar variety, its healthier than if there is added sugar. But that still doesn't answer the question engouh for me. I was wondering the same thing myself. I really would like to know for sure. I’m sure it depends on how the pie is made.
