Partway through last week I remembered that there was a plan to breakfasts and lunches. It’s not like I forgot about the plan – afterall, I wrote it! But I started the week with a pie pumpkin in hand and suddenly that was all I could think of. If it didn’t have pumpkin in it, it didn’t make it to the table.
At least for breakfast and lunch that is.
Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, pumpkin breakfast cookies, pumpkin coffee creamer, pumpkin pie smoothies – oh my, it was all so heavenly and pumpkinlicious.
And I’m sharing it all!
Mark your calendars ’cause all of these wonderful recipes (and more), a few easy make-it-yourselves and step-by-step tutorials are coming up in just two weeks. Scrounge up all the pie pumpkins you can find ’cause we’re roasting and baking up some deliciousness October 28 – November 3!
There’s still a few recipes left to test on my little eaters, but I’m seeking some input from you guys, my loyal readers:
What are some of your favorite recipes that you’d like to see pumpkin-ized?
I’ll be working some magic and sharing the results!

Tiffany-I made the most wonderful pumpkin recipe this week Mini Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/mini-pumpkin-butterscotch-muffins/detail.aspx) I had plenty of canned pumpkin and two bags of butterscotch chips I needed to use up. My kids loved them!
Sounds delicious! Thanks for the suggestion!
I’m stopping by for a visit from Organizing Junkie MPM.
Your menu sounds delicious.
I love baking especially this time of year!

I, too, love this time of year because of the pumpkin recipes. Yum! I think the kids FAVORTIE dessert with pumpkin is “pumpkin sandwiches” see the link for a post about them. I have made a pumpkin spinach and pasta dish that was good, too, on the healthier side.
Your menu and recipe for the gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches sounds delish.
Blessings,

Goodness Jarnette – those “sandwiches” look DELICIOUS! I don’t know if many would make it past quality control and into the kids hands!
