Calling All Pumpkin Fanatics!!!

YEEEEESS! It's that time of year. Pumpkin pie! Pumpkin Lattes! Pumpkin Ice Cream! 

Ok, I know it's crazy to get this excited about an orange veggie, but there's just something about pumpkin anything that makes me get excited about fall and the upcoming holidays. 

So with Thanksgiving fast approaching I thought I'd share my new favorite, unique pumpkin recipe with ya'll. It's an awesome meal for the family that no joke will be on your plates from start to finish in 15 minutes! (A great easy meal for this week before the cooking marathon this weekend!)

Pumpkin-Sage Cream Sauce

Ingredients

1 cup(s) heavy cream

1/2 cup(s) pumpkin purée

1/4 cup(s) fresh-grated Parmesan

16  fresh sage leaves, sliced into thin strips

1/2 teaspoon(s) salt

1/4 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground pepper

1 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter

Directions

Combine the cream, pumpkin purée, Parmesan, sage, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer the mixture until slightly thickened -- 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Toss with cooked pasta and serve immediately.

* I buy the pre-made cheese ravioli packages in the refrigerated section at the grocery store to go with this. It's awesome! This sauce also freezes really well if you wanted to make extra. EVEN MORE TIME SAVING! 

HIP HIP HOORAY FOR THE PUMPKIN!

Happy Fall & Thanksgiving everyone!

Ghost's, Goblins & Chickens???

Growing up in Utah, I remember cold Halloween nights. A hot bowl of chili or stew before we went out and hot chocolate when we came back. This was the first year that Mason could really take part in Halloween, so the costume had to be right. I guess I should have remembered that Halloween in AZ is 80 degrees. The poor kid was sweating to death in this WOOL suit! 

A whole new meaning to "CHICK" magnet!

Trick or Treating! 

Heading out with my friend Sofia.
