I love PUMPKINS

So Fall is my favorite time of the year, and as you can tell by the infrequency of posting that it has me pretty busy.  Starting off October on the road has got me playing a lot of catch up, but it sure has been worth it.
I will come back to the Disney trip, but for today I will talk about my favorite Fall thing.  PUMPKINS!  I love to photograph them, eat them, carve them, play with them, go see them, you name it I love me some pumpkins.
I always say that next year is the year that we will do a big pumpkin trip to some amazing place far away, and I guess I will say that again.  We got a pumpkin at Corn Dawgs this year, and I guess that one will have to do.  We carved it last night and that was fun.  Cody and Emilee had a heated argument about what he would look like.  Emilee's stand is that Halloween is scary and the pumpkin should be scary, and this is coming from the girl that would have been afraid of the pumpkin she helped carve.  Cody said he wanted it to have a happy face since pumpkins were so nice.  So I was with Cody on this one, but I let them work it out.  Well Emilee did finally agree that she did not want to be scared by something that would sit at our front door for the next week and she agreed on the triangle eyes, rectangle nose, and big smile that Cody designed.
I have also been on the search for some yummy pumpkin comfort food.  My SIL sent me a pancake recipe that I want to try.  Another friend sent me some sinfully delicious looking brownies, and today I had some pumpkin chipotle salsa that I found at Whole Foods this week.  And of course there is the forever beloved pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks....now that puts a smile on my face anytime of day!

I will keep you posted on my cooking endeavors, until then get out there and enjoy this weather and have a pumpkin something for me.
