I love the fall especially anything pumpkin. Thank you for sharing these. I am going to start with the pumpkin bread right now. We love it.
You are so welcome, Brenda! Enjoy!
Great round-up, it’s the season of pumpkin and we have a huge one (27kg!!) waiting to be transformed into multiple delicious meals. My family loves the traditional oven-baked pumpkin, but having one that is this big is great because they’ve agreed to some experimenting. I’m bookmarking this, it looks like I will get my hands dirty these days.
Thanks so much, Katie! Enjoy :)
