Pumpkin & Spinach Pie

I created this pumpkin & spinach pie by accident during a rainy weekend.

Whoooalllaa ... pumpkin & spinach pie recipe dropped down from the sky. They are quite fancy looking & simple to make. I had a few tasters, my collegues & few friends, they gave me positive comments about the pie and they are still standing on their feet till now hehehehe...Happy trying.
