Some before, during and after pics of my NYC neighborhood over the last day or two. Not necessarily in order, because it’s all kinda been a blur. Thank goodness we were lucky enough just to have to deal with howling winds, a swaying building and stir crazy children who were stuck inside for about 36 hours. Except for some flickering lights and spotty phone service, we even had electricity throughout.
Prayers for those who are dealing with much worse.
I love pumpkin and apple picking with my family…but somehow, every year, we get so caught up in the fun of the day that we bring home waaaaaay too many of both.
This is a great recipe to make with young kids because it’s basically a two bowl mixing project–and because oil cakes make for much easier hand mixing than butter or margarine.
You could definitely use canned pumpkin for this recipe, but it is so easy to steam and puree your own you should try it at least once with fresh pumpkin.
What better way to show your kids that you friendly, neighborhood jack-o-lantern is actually a yummy vegetable?!
