Hamptons Holiday Recipe: House Foods' Tofu Pumpkin Pie

House Foods has created a healthy version of a Thanksgiving favorite, Pumpkin Pie, which is just as delicious as the original, but saves a few calories and is protein rich from combining traditional ingredients like pumpkin puree with House Foods Premium Tofu Firm.
