Yesterday we tackled the last of the pumpkins!
The kids and I carved four jack-o-lanterns, made more pumpkin puree, baked pumpkin seeds, and made a pinterest inspired pumpkin cats. Perfect for a rainy Friday.
Here in Minnesota we have a mid-October long weekend break from school and I this year I am taking advantage of these days to recharge, catch up, and spend some time together as a family.
I feel great that I made the most our pumpkin harvest and now I can continue to use and experiment with all of the pumpkin puree we have on hand.
Yesterday I made this recipe for pumpkin bars and it turned out great. We also made pumpkin smoothies with some of our pumpkin puree, which was a big hit in our family.
Pumpkin Smoothie:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 banana
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- 5 ice cubes
- dash of cinnamon
Puree in a blender and enjoy!
