pumpkin banana oats<\/p>\n

Pumpkins mean one thing…Fall.<\/p>\n

When I think of Fall, also comes thoughts of…
leaves in brilliant hues
crisp, cool breezes
oranges, reds, browns dressing porches and people
a need for comfort, for warmth
a desire for spices and a hot cup of tea
pies, pickled pieces, pot stews
and, of course…
pumpkins.<\/p>\n

I’ve now reached the double digits of loaves of pumpkin bread baked in our kitchen this month. (Don’t worry about my cholesterol levels–all but 1 was given away.)<\/p>\n

Daydreams of ideas and visions in cookbooks bring new pumpkin recipes to my growing obsession<\/strike> love for the pumpkin taste. I’ve been using canned pumpkin 1)because I don’t have the energy to scoop out fresh pumpkin and 2)because it’s actually pretty great for you, healthwise.<\/p>\n

Hope this gives you more ways to reach 300% of your vitamin C daily needs and 50% of your soluble fiber needs, as well as a ton of potassium, all in one warm bowl.<\/p>\n
