Pumpkins, Pumpkins & More Pumpkins

So as you can tell I am pretty obsessed with anything pumpkin. And if you didn't know that, last night will prove it. I started the evening off with making some healthy pumpkin pancakes.

What you will need

pure pumpkin

1 tbsp pumpkin pecan butter

1 packet of splenda

1 egg

handful of oats

 

Start by mixing all ingredients together.

 

Then get to cooking! I love using my omelet maker because it helps keep them together.

 

And there you go! A yummy pumpkin pancake without all the fat.

 

Nowww to some crafts!

 

Pumpkin Candle holders!!

 

Start by cutting out a circle at the top of the pumpkin. I used the candle to measure it.

 

Then scoop out all the seeds (this is when it hit me that I could roast pumpkin seeds next)

 

Then you just have to set the candle inside and light! Easy, fun and so cute!

I am probably going to make some more of these and take them for Thanksgiving. They would be perfect to arrange on the dinner table!

 



 

Roasted Spicy Italian Pumpkin Seeds

 

 

Mix together the seeds, extra virgin olive oil, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper.

 

Bake in the oven on 375' for about 15 minutes or until golden brown!

 

So now I am sure you can tell. This girl is pumpkin crazy!!
