Pumpkins and Spice and Everything Nice!

I think I have said that I love fall, if I haven't, I LOVE FALL!

I love cooking with pureed pumpkin. When October hits I try to use a lot of it in my cooking. Yesterday the kids and I made pumpkin chocolate chunk cookies, and Oh My! They are delicious. I found the recipe on Bakerella's blog. If you have not found Bakerella you must go post haste! Just look at these beauties!



They are so light and fluffy, and y'all there is a frosting recipe that goes with these! I did not frost them for obvious reasons, my butt!

Go ahead, take a closer look!

Awwww, yeah! They were a huge hit, and even though the chocolate probably outweighed the nutrition of the pumpkin...oh, who cares!

I love the look on J's face. It looks like he got caught with his whole face in the cookie jar!

I promise that the cookies were not my kid's dinner. Even though I made them at 4:30 yesterday. Nope, this was dinner.


Isn't he cute! This is jack-o-lantern cheeseburger pie. I got the recipe from Southern Living a while back and it is a Halloween must at my house.

To top the week off, we are having pumpkin waffles on Saturday morning. I usually make the yummiest pumpkin pancakes, but Wylie had an assignment on his calendar asking him to look up pumpkin recipes. This particular recipe is one he wanted to try. We will see how it goes.
