Have a great weekend!

Pumpkin Puree made by me!

I was reading a wonderful blog called Pioneer Woman. Well, when I say reading the blog...I mean just the cooking part of it. She has several running blogs on her site.

A few weeks ago she posted about how to bake/puree your own pumpkin and roast the seeds. I haven't had roasted pumpkin seeds since my childhood...and "Oh" did that bring back memories! So, I decided to try it. I already had several small pumpkins at home (impulse buy for the kids) little did I know those are the best for puree.

I have to say it was pretty easy. A little time consuming but easy. I ended up making a pie that afternoon with my puree. I made two pies and had leftover puree to store in the freezer. I must say I ended up baking both pies but, putting one in the freezer.

I was pretty impressed. The pie tasted great.

(sorry no picture...we ate all really fast...LOL!)

And the roasted pumpkin seeds were devoured too!

The one thing I didn't do that the Pioneer Woman did was let the seeds dry out overnight. I just washed them up and seasoned them before I roasted them. And I roasted them while the pies were baking.

That's what's been going on here!

Blessings to you and yours,

Next days dinner too!

Ok, I had leftovers from Short Ribs. And Friday was our pizza night. I usually make homemade pizza. So, I had this bright idea...make it with the leftover Short Ribs sauce.

I spread it on top of the pizza dough and added some greaded cheese.

Oh My! It sure was good.

Now, I'm trying to figure what to make with the rest of the leftovers

Hmm...I wonder if it would taste good as stew?

Just thinking out loud...LOL!

Have a great Sunday!

The Yummy smell of Food

Hey there!

I am sitting here smelling the yummy scent of the dinner I am making.

It is a recipe from Giada De Laurentis

called Short Ribs with Tagliatelle and it is so yummy!

It's something I don't make very often but, when I do...oh boy...I savour it. I also make sandwiches with it on the next day.

I can not tell you how yummy and good it smells. My children right now are talking about "smell-o-vision" and if I had it...I would use it right now.

Just a silly tidbit from me...LOL!

Enjoy your dinner!

Doesn't this just scream "Autumn"!!!

It's feeling very Autumn like here. The leaves are falling and the air is crisp. I made pumpkin puree and roasted pumpkin seeds yesturday. I really do love fall!

Fall blessings to you!
