Pumpkin in the Oven

I'll start with what you want to know first...no baby yet!

But while my little pumpkin is incubating, I have done some pumpkin baking of my own.

First, I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. At the Irishman's request, I mixed white chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips. They were pretty good (I found the link from a link on another blog..) but not in my top 10 of cookie recipes.

This morning after Mass, I was worn out and decided to take a nap...that is until thoughts of PUMPKIN BUTTER went through my head...I made a batch for breakfast. It is yummy on toast!

Now in the oven is the recipe I am most excited about so far. Again, it was a link I found from another blog. The Pumpkin Swirl Loaf is in the oven now and smells and looks promising. I also may or may not have picked up a cookbook in the checkout line at the store today with more pumpkin recipes in it....

I would usually add a picture or two, but not today. I am off to spend some time with my husband. = ) We'll enjoy Sunday night TV while we can!

Tomorrow I head to the hospital for the BPP test and then back to the doctor, so we should know more then. Until then, there are yummy pumpkin recipes calling my name!
