Pumpkin woo-hoo!

I'm spending part of the day roasting pumpkins for use in baked goods this fall, because (a) so satisfying to roast your own; (b) it makes the house smell great; (c) it tastes better than canned; and (d) bonus roasted pumpkin seeds! \o/

Anyway, the first batch is draining right now while the second is in the oven. Some of it will go for a pie, some of it for pumpkin cookies, maybe some muffins. Other ideas? I don't care for pumpkin cheesecake and am mostly looking for quick baked goods kind of things, I think - breads and muffins go over around here. If you have a tried and true pumpkin muffin, hit me!

Easy pumpkin cookies )

I love Rosh Hashanah - apples and honey and an extra day off to get the autumn housekeeping and cooking underway. Best holiday-that-I-don't-celebrate EVER! Well done, Jews!

L'shanah tovah!
