My children have informed me that we should have pumpkin pie more often (why wait till Thanksgiving?!). And pumpkin pancakes. And pumpkin muffins (chocolate chip or cream cheese, take your pick).

And so, since I acquired another couple of pumpkins last week, I have them in the oven today so that I can be on top of my pumpkin game. It’s not just the kids who want these treats. There’s just something about rain, soggy leaves, and wind that make me want to bake pumpkin recipes.

I wanted to remind you about the post on my site detailing how to easily cook a whole pumpkin. It’s the easiest way to make pumpkin puree – you won’t even chop off any of your fingers!! Plus this method turns out a puree super delicious and perfect for all your pumpkin recipes.

So kids, pumpkin pie…coming up!

What’s your experience with making pumpkin puree? Ever cooked a whole pumpkin before? Do it!!
