There is a pumpkin shortage. Not for Halloween...but by Thanksgiving!

If you love to make your favorite pumpkin pie recipe for Thanksgiving... or pumpkin mousse, which is my family's specialty, listen up.

You best get to the grocery store now and pick up any cans of pumpkin you can find. There is a pumpkin shortage on the way.

In fact, Libby's says once it ships the remainder of their canned pumpkin for 2015, there won't be any more left until next year's pumpkin harvest!

90% of the pumpkins grown and used for canning come from an area in Illinois, where farmers say heavy rain in June is what cost them a lot of their crop this year.

So snatch up those cans of pumpkins....but save a few for me!
