Fall and the yummy pumpkins!

When I think of fall, I think of pumpkins.  We love to go to the pumpkin patch and pick our own pumpkins!  This is such a fun fall activity that we do as a family!  Last year, when we were still living with my grandfather, we had a garden and grew a pumpkin from my son's pumpkin seed.

We cooked down the pumpkin and made pumpkin puree. 

I made some fabulous pumpkin bread last year with this puree.  I am searching for wonderful pumpkin recipes this fall and will be sharing some of the recipes that I find.
