What's Cookin'

So when rummaging through my pantry last week, I ran across a can of pumpkin.  Where did that come from?  It must have been left over from the holidays.  What to do... what to do?  Yes, I could make pumpkin pancakes or muffins, but I want something completely off the wall.  So I went in search for something different... something I had never done before.  I think I found it!  Here are the 2 recipes I tried.  I hope your family enjoys!

The first is found on spoonful.com.  So different but tasty!  Visit the website for something you would never think about when you think about pumpkin...

Next... for a sweet and very easy treat.  I found this recipe in Parenting magazine.  It does not say to store in fridge, but that is what I did and I think they were tasty cold.

Pumpkin Snowballs

1 cup oatmeal
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (I used cinnamon)
3 or 4 Tbsp pumpkin puree
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup raisins

Combine well and roll into 1 inch balls, and then roll in powdered sugar.  Anything rolled in powdered sugar is awesome!
