Pumpkin Pie or Tarts

It's great to have guinea pigs friends who will test my baked goods. I, personally really really dislike Pumpkin Pie  but it's one of those things that Ben really likes. I didn't have the energy or time to make any for Thanksgiving this year. Yes, Thanksgiving is in October in Canada unlike the states where it's in November.
Yesterday, after a really busy long day I got busy making the filling for Pumpkin pie while I was talking with Ben. Yes, I made a mistake but it turned out that it wasn't a mistake. According to my guinea pigs friends and Ben they were amazing.  It was more of a preference of the recipe writer.
