Part of that big garden my brother and I did this year at Tulipwood was a pumpkin patch. And look how it turned out:

I love it when things turn out well. There are some late watermelons mixed in there too. Maybe we’ll carve a watermelon too and freak people out.
I love pumpkins that come in unexpected colors and sizes. I saw some for sale recently in Austin and went… um, a little overboard.
But they thrilled me and I decided that I had to have them.
The squirrels promptly agreed and now I’m down to two which are slowly being gnawed to pieces on my doorstep as we speak.
Last year, we carved a pumpkin that I decided looked like a Picasso. Because the other option was that it was just weird, so I chose to say it was modern art.
See the similarity?
But then there are the pumpkin recipes that I love. Here are some of my favorites from across the web:
Toasted Pumpkin Seeds by She Wears Many Hats
Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie Tart with Almond Crust by Family Fresh Cooking
Pumpkin Donut Holes from Two Peas and Their Pod
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast from Cookin’ Canuck
Shepherd’s Pumpkin Pie from Namely Marley

Pumpkin Butter by Tidy Mom
Pumpkin Dump Cake by Cookies & Cups
Pumpkin Spice Mini Cakes from Miss In The Kitchen
Pumpkin Pie Coffee Cake by Food For My Family
It’s such a fun time of year for food, don’t you think?

Wonder if the Pumpkin Butter tastes like Pumpkin Pie? I do love me some Pumpkin Pie. Your little garden appears to have done very well. Be Blessed!!! –Big Steve

Delish! And I have a Pumpkin Latte Recipe you might enjoy too! Can’t wait to pumpkin carve next weekend. My 10 year old boy is at the point where he doesn’t like cute pumpkin faces anymore… it’s all about how scary or gross you can make them!
