Pumpkin pie is a great snack especially for this time of year. Both squash and crust are good for Spleen and Stomach, supporting the Earth energies of the digestive system. They are nourishing in preparation for the winter. Pumpkin is often used with dogs to treat diarrhea and solidify the stool. If you can find or make pie that has less sugar in it, all the better. Eating in season is always a good choice.
