So I've been waiting for months (seriously) for canned pumpkin to be available. I've really been wanting it and you have no idea how difficult it is to find out of season. Even Whole Foods didn't have any! I stocked up on it the other day and was trying to decide what deliciousiness I could make with it.
Well, I found a recipe for No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake. I'm all for not baking so I gave it a spin. This is where I wish I had some of my mother's talent for all things baking. I swear, I followed the directions which is difficult for me since I hate to follow directions. Needless to say it didn't turn out quite right. It's more like a Pumpkin Cheesecake mousse/pudding. But it's still good, just sloppy.
Next I tried some Pumpkin Oatmeal cookies. Yeah, I really wish I had some talent for baking. They too taste good, just kinda muffin like and kinda crispy on some parts and squishy in others, but overall a pretty solid attempt.
Oh well, I got my pumpkin and that's all that really matters :)
