Pasta with Pumpkin Sauce

We had this for dinner tonight. Pasta with Pumpkin Sauce, chopped sausages and fresh basil. Eddie thought it was surprisingly good, and he gobbled it up, (get it? gobbled? sorry...) despite not being a fan of pumpkin. Eddie said he would not have been able to tell if Julia hadn't told him. She will definitely keep that in mind... :P

So this brings our pumpkin update to: 14 pumpkin pies, 2 pots of curried pumkin soup, 1 batch of pumpkin squares and 1 batch of pasta with pumpkin sauce.

12 pumpkins = Pie!

This is actually the first time Julia has made pumpkin pie from scratch. She wasn't expecting it to be this easy... She plans to make more for the neighbors! Bon appetit!

What can you make with 12 pumpkins?

This year Albertsons was giving out free pumpkins after Halloween, like last year. Julia went crazy and picked out the 12 big ones you see in the picture here. Eddie is asking her, "What can you make with 12 pumpkins?!?" She swears that a lot can be done with pumpkins. Well, we'll keep you posted...

Savory Mini Tuna Danish

Julia made these tonight. She got the recipe from a website, but ended up making so many changes that it became an entirely different thing. Julia named them Savory Mini Tuna Danish. She's not particularly fond of the name, but it's the most fitting name she could think of... Eddie's not going to argue. She makes them, he eats them.!

Focaccia

Focaccia!!

Chocolate Lava Cake

Those of you who haven't gotten the "hints" from our posts yet, here it is out in the open: Julia is a glutton. She loves to bake, cook, and eat. Not necessarily in that order, but even she can't make up her mind which part of it she likes best.

Anyway, here is a Chocolate Lava cake that she prepared tonight, and the family seemed to really like it, so we thought we'd share a photo with whoever might be interested.
Enjoy!
