Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater.....

So we had an extra Pumpkin around the house that needed to be used before it went bad. So, Noah and I made a yummy Pumpkin Dessert using it and a cake mix. It was my first attempt making Pumpkin Pie filling completely from scratch. It wasn't hard just a little time consuming. I had to tweak the recipe a little as my helpers were a little too helpful at times, but the kids had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the end results, but Noah didn't understand why it wasn't a pie.

After we cut it up and cleaned out the guts we baked it......
Then we scrapped out the flesh....
Then we blended it in the food processor...

Here's the smashed pumpkin (most people just open a can of Libby's Pumpkin)....

The pie filling, once you add the eggs, half and half, spices, and honey.....

The finished product......
