It's been getting a little cooler here in sunny San Diego! Needing a sweater to keep the morning chill off the arms is a sure sign that Fall has arrived. You can't count on the beautiful change of color in the deciduous trees, at least not anywhere close to home. I've wanted to bake, but can't seem get away from my cleaning/purging stretch. It's probably because I have so much to do. But I have been doing a little hunting (bargains) and gathering (supplies to bake), so when I get sick of cleaning, I'll move on to baking. Which brings me to my last trip to the 99 cents only store…
These cute little pumpkins were just a dollar and brighten up my front porch. I might try to cook one so I can make the pumpkin cookies from scratch. But if I'm not in the mood, these little ones will do until I get big ones to carve. Don't you just love orange?
You can find the recipe here: http://justhelen.typepad.com/just-helen/2009/10/pumpkin-time.html You can also find a cute picture of Tom there as well…much smaller, of course.
These are so yummy that we don’t wait until fall to cook these up!
Pumpkin cookies? I need the recipe. I love anything pumpkin, but my favorite are pumpkin waffles with buttermilk syrup. Mmmm, fall.
