When my husband, Randy, was deployed in Afghanistan, I sent him the ingredients to make this easy pumpkin pie recipe. He and his team were so happy to have the smell of homemade pie wafting through the base kitchen while they were away from home over the holidays. —Rowenna Hamper, Mishawaka, Indiana
