Pumpkin Recipes!

It's time for my two absolute favorite

pumpkin recipes- these are dear to the heart y'all.

Fall does not officially start in our household until

these have been made!!!

 

But first I must give you my little punkin's favorite...

Grey Grey's Easy Pumpkin Puree

Directions:

Halve the pumpkin; remove seeds, pulp, and stringy portion. Cut into small pieces and peel. Place in a steamer basket which will fit in a covered pot. Put over boiling water, cover, and steam for about 20 minutes, or until tender.

Mash, puree in a blender or food processor.

Serve to the cutest little foodie!!!

 

Over the years I have loved the meshing of Jay's favorite family recipes

 with my own. Below are two killer recipes that have been fall classics

 in our home...
