Pumpkin

For those of you who love summer I am sorry to announce that fall is here!  Truth be told, it's my favorite season!  (don't confuse this with holiday, that would be Christmas.) The colors of fall are so stinkin' beautiful!  And let's not forget the pumpkin!  One of my favorite things to bake is Pumpkin Bread.  The funny thing about it is I never in a million years thought that I would like it.  At first the thought of it seemed nasty to me.  It's one of my grandmother's recipes and I figured I had better give it a whirl because I have yet to be disappointed by one of her recipes.  And this one is a winner!!  Little man LOVES pumpkin bread!  Now I need to come up with a healthier version that is just as delicious as the fatty version.  I have come across so many other yummy sounding recipes that include pumpkin lately.  The other is a Pumpkin Doughnut... yea I am a carb junkie, can you tell?!  I have never tried to make a Pumpkin Soup, but I have seen recipes and I am thinking it's almost time to venture out and experiment with one.  I have tried Butternut Squash Soup and really like it.  All this talk of food is making me hungry! :)
I gave in and made some Pumpkin Bread!  But I sent some to work with hubby, sent some next door to the neighbors who just had a new baby, it's heading out the door mostly....  But I did have a slice and it's all that I was wanting!  :)
This weekend will include a trip to the Pumpkin Patch to pick out our pumpkin.  Little man loves this tradition and honestly so do I.  It is a memory he will have forever and hopefully one day carry on with his own family.
