I’m not sure what got into me yesterday, but I decided to make pumpkin everything. Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, and pumpkin baby food. My kitchen was a hot mess. A few families just moved in across the street, so I think I’m going to put Everett in his monkey costume (not to be confused with monkey suit, which for some reason is what I’ve been calling it), and drop off goodies for our new neighbors. Who can resist a monkey baby and pumpkin bread? The answer is nobody.
I split this recipe three ways to make two loaves of pumpkin bread and twelve muffins (bake the loaves for 50 minutes and the muffins for 20). I used this recipe to make the cookies, only I used fresh pumpkin instead of canned. My friend Brandee and I cooked pumpkins on Wednesday and I froze the leftovers in mini baby cups to use next month when we introduce solids to Everett. I’m not going to lie….it did not smell that great. I’ll be sure to take a picture of his face when he tastes it so I can report back.
And on that note, happy Friday, friends! We’re off to the country for some much needed R&R, what are you up to this weekend?
You’re amazing, girl. Favorite statement – “kitchen was a hot mess.” Made me laugh out loud on this Friday morning.
Love you!

Love YOU, friend. I miss you!!! Wish you lived closer so we could have bake-a-thons with our babes.
Pumpkin is one of my absolute favorite things about this time of year! I just made oatmeal pumpkin chocolate chip cookies this week and they were delicious! The pumpkin makes them so moist. I can’t believe I’m just now discovering this tasty treat.
Have a great weekend!

Ooooh oatmeal pumpkin sounds like a good combo! Yum
haha monkey suit, too cute! and, i am a huge sucker for anything pumpkin too, i’ve been baking up a storm lately. although my husband doesn’t like pumpkin flavored things (the horror!), so it’s dangerous for me…have to give it away or i’ll eat it all!

You can hold Ev. He started screaming towards the end. I almost burned my muffins!
Thanks for the recipe! I can’t wait to make some of my own pumpkin creations, too.
Oh wow, for some reason none of these ever showed up and my reader said you had four new posts this morning! I’ve been missing you so I guess now I know why! I’m a huge pumpkin fiend this time of year. I spend all of December in PA (pumpkin anonymous) =]
