My review
Teri's Dinner in a Pumpkin
Teri Blackburn Pell
"I make this for my family every year around this time...and I feel you might like it as well. It also makes a wonderful addition to regular Thanksgiving day fare! Try serving it on a platter surrounded by small ornamental squash for a dramatic presentation."

Maybe it's just my hubby and me, but the pumpkin pie spice seemed to give it an odd flavor.
