Happy Pumpkin Baking Season

20131012-112304.jpg

I made the normal non-creative homemade pumpkin pie and also some lovely homemade cornbread. But, I needed to use my creative side and also the rest of the pumpkin. So, I made PUMPKIN BUTTER TARTS. After all this I was quite hungry for breakfast and needed something before trying a tart, so I concocted pumpkin/cornbread eggs benny; which is poached eggs on cornbread topped with a pumpkin hollandaise sauce! The pumpkin is fabulous with the cornbread. And the tarts are decadent.

Happy Thanksgiving and may you allow your creative side to come through too!

It’s a foundation, accessory and meal in itself! I love malt bread! Try it toasted with cream cheese, dill, spinach and smoke salmon! Oh my taste buds are excited!
