Pumpkin Comes Alive

Some of you may remember that a few weeks ago I roasted my first pumpkin.  Since then I've been busy cooking up pumpkin goodies and all of them have turned out wonderfully!  I still have two cups of pumpkin left and want to make a traditional pumpkin pie since Drew loves them and try out a new recipe for pumpkin biscuits (they were awesome!).  Until then, here are links to all the recipes I've made in case any of you are interested:

Pumpkin pancakes- Not overly pumpkiny but still delicious!

Iced pumpkin cookie bars- This is actually a cookie recipe but I was lazy and just made bars and they were awesome!  Reminded me of the Little Debbie pumpkin cakes but even better.

Pumpkin coffee creamer- Easy and delicious!  Such a fun treat when being far away from Starbucks and Panera!

Crockpot pumpkin spiced lattes- I made these for a baby shower and they were awesome!  A total hit!  Just an FYI...if you make these and notice a film on the top of the liquid after it's been heated, it's just from the milk getting hot.  Just scoop it off and throw it away.

Pumpkin muffins- I've made two batches of these.  These are from Cooking Light and are our favorite pumpkin bread/muffin recipe.  Delicious and lighter.  What more can you ask for?

I've been having fun with my pumpkin!  Certainly worth the effort of roasting and freezing it.  I can't wait to use the rest and then buy some more!
