Every year, my father and I duke it out on Thanksgiving. We aren’t arguing about politics, religion or sports, but something far more important: Should Mom make pumpkin or pecan pie for dessert?

A few years ago, I got smart. After visiting San Francisco’s yummy Café for All Seasons, I nabbed and adapted a recipe that pleases everyone’s palates. The best part? This incredibly simple, inexpensive recipe makes TWO pies.
