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!!

Menu Plan for the Week {With Pumpkins}

A few weeks ago, Malachi helped me pick the pumpkins that we had grown in our garden. He “gave them all a bath” to get the mud off, then we used them as decorations on our mantle for a couple weeks. This weekend, I saw that they needed to be baked and pureed. (Some of them were starting to get squishy.)  And so, I followed these instructions for cooking them whole. I now have pumpkin puree for pies and all kinds of other recipes I’ll share with you this week!
