Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween! In addition to feeling all grown up by opening our door to trick-or-treaters, we had fun in the kitchen experimenting with carving and cooking our pumpkins. As kids, our pumpkins were hollowed out for us. We quickly learned how hard (and messy) the task was.

Many hours later, with sore arms and back, we were excited to display our projects. Although far from fancy, they provided nice props for the front porch.

With lots of pumpkin puree, we spiced up the morning with pumpkin pancakes. Other than roasting garlic flavored pumpkin seeds, we also tested a pumpkin bread recipe. Perhaps pumpkin soup, pumpkin cheesecake, and pumpkin pie will be next our a testing menu =)
