Apples and Pumpkins...

these two things definitely let us know fall is here. I finished my apple row from Bee In My Bonnet row along. Now to get busy on the coffee cup row. This is only a portion of the row.
 Yesterday I was busy cooking a pumpkin that we got at our farmer's market. I didn't get as much as I had hoped for but enough for 4 recipes. I made Pumpkin custard yesterday. Today I made Pumpkin Cranberry muffins. I put pumpkin puree in the freezer for a pie and for a Pumpkin Cheesecake from Our Best Bites for Thanksgiving. I am not a big fan of cheesecake but this is one recipe I do like a lot. The crust is to die for.
 I also roasted the pumpkin seeds.
 I have a giveaway going on yesterday's post if you are interested.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

I love the apples, especially the partially eaten one...

Do you just stick the whole pie pumpkin in the oven. I cooked one this year, but not knowing how to do it, I cut it in half and cooked it like I cook squash...

You still have flowers? Fantastic...

In stitches,
Teresa :o)

Those applaes are so nice. I'm making them too. But did you know that one of your leaves are upside down?

Cute little apples and I bet that custard was good and the muffins too ;-)

I love pumpkin things but I tend to use canned instead of making the effort to use fresh.

Heather said...

I love pumpkin but have never cooked one, I always use canned. Does it taste better?

Ooh your apples are darling! I don't like pumpkin - although I did try some pumpkin soup once that my aunt made and it was pretty good. And I LOVE roasted pumpkin seeds. Enjoy!

Did you make the Pumpkin Cranberry rolls from King Arthur, Carrie? I made them today, too and they were wonderful! How I love roasted pumpkin seeds, too!
Cheers!

Pumpkin in anything baked is always good! Yum on muffins. A row of coffee cups reminds me of a long ago Country Threads project a bunch of us did. we each had a section to do & had to make 12 sections each. Mine was the coffee cup row & I was to leave for Australia very soon. My stitching buddies said I couldn't get on the plane until the coffee cups were done. I sewed like crazy, got them done & made the flight. to this day I love that quilt so much & always smile when it comes out for the season.

What are those flowers called? I picked some seed heads from some at church, but I don't know what they are.
