Pumpkin {Love}

"Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie". Jim Davis 

We finally made it out to the pumpkin patch yesterday.  The wind was incredible, and cut our visit short, but we didn't leave without our pumpkin.  I managed to take one blurry picture with my camera before getting the "change battery pack" message.  All I can say is, thank god for the iphone camera!

Better get one for her Sam

This morning my daughter woke up unusually early so we got busy and made some pumpkin pancakes to start off our Halloween just right.

Mix all dry ingredients together

Pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar

One word... Delish!  They were super fluffy and full of Flavour!  I think the next time I may add some caramelized pecans for a little crunch and some added texture.

Happy Halloween!
