Pumpkin

The dying days of summer leave way for the cooler days of autumn.

Pumpkin is a big part of this time of year and can be used in both sweet and savoury cooking.

The smell of a spicy pumpkin pie baking or a moist muffin or quick bread in the oven, always makes me think of Thanksgivings at home. The recipes are usually very simple, not a lot of outrageous ingredients are needed and they can be whipped up quickly if you keep a tin of pumpkin purée in the pantry.

Try pumpkin in place of squash in savoury recipes for a different tasting pasta, lasagna, ravioli, soup or stew.

My recipes menu includes a snacking cake, muffins, a pie, and cookies. Give them a try and let me know what you think. With that smell permeating the house you wont be able to wait until they’re cooled.

enjoy!
