I don't know what happened, but suddenly I am obsessed with Pumpkin. Pumpkin Waffles, Pumpkin Trifles, Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Pumpkin!!! I hatched a plan this morning. I want MORE pumpkin recipes, but the thing is, I only want the BEST! So, I gathered a partner in crime. I don't have time to make every pumpkin recipe that comes along, but I still long to look at them, and ooh and ahh over them, and I would like to make WAY more of them than I can do by myself,
So, I am having a PUMPKIN OFF.
Send me your best Pumpkin recipe between now and Sunday night. Your favorite one. I mean the BEST you have EVER had. I want it, and I want to make it and then: Monday morning, I am going to make it. There is going to be a Pumpkin Explosion at my house. I have roped in another famous chef, Rachel Thomas, to help me out that morning, and at 12:00 noon, we are going to feast on our pumpkin explosion, and you can too.
PUMPKIN TASTING PARTY AT 12:00 p.m. I need to have your recipes though, so, e-mail them, message them, post them in the comments. If we decide to make YOUR recipe, then you might win a Pampered Chef item that is a MUST HAVE in the kitchen!
YOU IN?
PUMPKIN NOW.
HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST PUMPKIN, and YOU MIGHT WIN!

I probably won't be able to come on Monday (so bummed because you know how much I love pumpkin!). But I've already given you my best pumpkin recipe (and a sample of them!)...my pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! :)
I'm emailing you my favorite. I'm making a double (and possibly) a triple batch of it on Sunday to give away to friends next week. It's seriously the bomb.
Hi Lindsey,
I didn't know you had this blog! I'm glad I found it.
Hmmm, my favorite pumpkin recipe is tough! I love them all! We tried pumpkin french toast the other day and loved it! It was super easy.

Ingredients (cont.)
* 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1 pinch ginger
* 1 pinch ground cloves
Directions
1. TO MAKE THE SCONES:.
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
3. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl. Using a pastry knife, fork, or food processor, cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter are obvious. Set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, half and half, and egg. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Form the dough into a ball.
5. Pat out dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a 1-inch thick rectangle (about 9 inches long and 3 inches wide). Use a large knife or a pizza cutter to slice the dough twice through the width, making three equal portions. Cut those three slices diagonally so that you have 6 triangular slices of dough. Place on prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 14–16 minutes. Scones should begin to turn light brown. Place on wire rack to cool.
7. TO MAKE THE PLAIN GLAZE:.
8. Mix the powdered sugar and 2 tbsp milk together until smooth.
9. When scones are cool, use a brush to paint plain glaze over the top of each scone.
10. AS THAT WHITE GLAZE FIRMS UP, MAKE THE SPICED ICING:.
11. Combine the ingredient for the spiced icing together. Drizzle this thicker icing over each scone and allow the icing to dry before serving (at least 1 hour). A squirt bottle works great for this, or you can drizzle with a whisk.
oh my goodness. well, this week, i have had pumpkin krispie kremes, pretty tasty, although nothing beats the original, our neighbor made us a delicious pumpkin roll, and i made pumpkin pancakes. They were paired with Trader Joes Pear cinnamon cider (a new favorite around here!). My favorite recipe is a pumpkin sheetcake. It was the first pumpkin thing i tried and liked. I think it's all the cream cheese frosting. I'll email it to you:).
Girl you know I don't have a pumpkin recipe! But if I did I would totally send it to you and if I lived by you I would be there to eat the fruits of your labors!
Drat. My husband despises pumpkin so I got nuttin'.
