Look a recipe for Pumpkin Pancakes plus loads of other pumpkin recipes on Pumpkin Recipes. I bet these are delicious!
You have to try this soup. My SIL made this a couple of years ago for Thanksgiving and it was delicious! It has many roasted vegetable flavors mingling in a creamy base. Yum! I was so excited when I stumbled on the recipe. I am definitely making this. Harvest Pumpkin Soup recipe courtesy of Martha Stewart

Orange you glad it's almost Halloween

Here is my submission for this weeks "Orange" Color Challenge at Inspiration Avenue's blog .

I love Halloween and of course I thought of it with the color orange and the time of year it is.
The witches hat was made out of paper clay and then embossed with the spiders web, painted with a beaded tip and frilly brim.
The pumpkin was made of paper clay and he has a little spiral stem at the top. Anyway, every week there is a new color or word challenge. It's fun! There's also a giveaway once a month. This coming weeks challenge word is "Vintage". I am excited about that. I love bits of the past showing up in artwork. If you want to join in on the fun just create something, anything having to do with Vintage. It can be a photograph you take, a piece of jewelry, a mixed-media piece, a tag, anything at all. The deadline for submissions is every Sunday at 5pm EST, USA. Come play with us. ;D
hugs,
