Pumpkin pie. A holiday favorite. Often, this one specialty is something the gluten free person misses most during the fall. Now, gluten free pumpkin pie, whole, or in part, can be found in the freezer section of some grocery stores during the holiday season. Some are prebaked. Others are not. Some stores will even bake gluten free pumpkin pie for customers, saving them time and energy. No one has to give up a holiday favorite anymore. Take your own pie to holiday gatherings, if necessary. Take one slice to each gathering. No one will know the difference.
