The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let things go…
Hello, sweet friends…
It’s been an unbelievable several months in our world…
and even though I’m not certain about what this Fall will look like…
I do know that family, home and pumpkins will be at the heart of everything.
That being said this past week Joe and I planned an outing to a pumpkin farm…
It was a beautiful day…
During this time of so many restrictions…
it’s a real treat to experience the outdoors…
seeing all the pumpkins on the vine…
and deciding on a few that were just right…
What’s Cooking?
I’m pretty sure I could incorporate pumpkin into all my cooking this month. I’ve already prepared several yummy desserts and this recipe for pumpkin waffles is perfect for fall. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I must admit that it was fun using my new mini pumpkin waffle maker too!
