Anyone else feel like the holidays are really sneaking up on them?
I know, nothing new to be thinking about, but honestly. I feel like I just bought my first can of pumpkin this season a few weeks ago and BAM, it’s time to plan out Thanksgiving and Christmas, too.
Let’s all take a deep breath. Can we all agree to be in this November season of fall for the weeks it deserves?
And let’s not be quick to discount the simplicity and flexibility of the canned pumpkin.
Sure, you can make your own pumpkin puree and it will be good. Or you can simplify your life a little and just the creamy, orange-y store-bought. It will be great — I promise! So, what should you do with that (and other) cans of pumpkin?
Let’s get to cooking and baking with these ideas based on your personality or interests!
