The Great Pumpkin Recipe Journey


Okay so in the past, I'll admit to having said that I don't like pumpkin recipes, aside from pumpkin pie.  Well I'm definitely someone who believes that you have to try something at least twice, sometimes more than twice, to really get the taste for it. After that, it really is probably just something you don't like.


So I was wondering, how exactly could I love pumpkin pie and not like other things with pumpkin in them?  I decided to try my hand at baking some pumpkin pie recipes to see if I could change my own mind.

The results thus far: Pumpkin pie from real pumpkins is a hundred times better than from canned. (Yes I'm sure that you already knew that but I can tell you from first-hand experience.)  Also, just because I may not be a big fan of pumpkin cookies, doesn't mean there isn't other stuff that I would love from it.  It just takes some creativity.

So, with that being said, this is the first entry in my Great Pumpkin Recipe Journey, explaining the background and reasoning behind it.
