FALL FOOD!!!

Well, if you couldn't tell by the lack of blog posts, life has been super busy since school started.  Our weekday routine is crazy, but I am so thankful to have many coworkers in the same situation.  

Me and FIVE of my coworkers, all pregnant last January!

To all of my friends who read this blog who are not my coworkers, thank you for your patience with me.  I really love, value and cherish you so much and am trying to get my act together so we can hang out! I have been leaving Ky at daycare for the entire time it is open because I cannot keep up at work :-( Everyone told me you just need to put as much effort into teaching once you are a Mom, but I cannot figure out how to do it... help!!!!!

We have, of course, been eating dinner... and it's my second favorite culinary time of year... PUMPKIN AND APPLE SEASON!!!!!!!!!!! (the fresh produce of summer/grilled everything is in first place.)

With one 29 oz can of pumpkin puree, on separate occasions (pumpkin keeps in the fridge!), I made:
Pumpkin Pancakes
Pumpkin Bread
I use pumpkin pie spice instead of the individual spices in both of the above recipes.  
Pumpkin French Toast Bake (I halved the recipe and used pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin butter)
Pumpkin Chai Latte



With my second can of pumpkin of the season, I made:
Pasta with Pumpkin and Sausage (and we add in spinach)

Other fall dishes we have made and loved:
Apple Crisp
Sweet Potato Burritos (I halve the recipe and use one can of black beans instead of kidney beans)
