pumpkin goodness

pumpkin scones

I can't remember if I posted the link to this yummy recipe before so here it is again. I change the recipe a little bit, I use half a can of pumpkin (not sure how off that is) and tonight I din't have any real cream so I used the tiramisu coffee creamer I use in my cocoa. The most important thing is to mix the wet ingredients in by hand. If you dont you end up with a vary sticky gummy, stretchy dough instead of a biscuit like dough. I dont frost mine at all. I like the pumpkiny slightly sweet taste and don't want to be overwhelmed with a glaze.

So tonight I am thankful that I know how to and love to bake. I love it more than regular cooking and I think people are more impressed by it??? LOL!

But it's really the one thing I do well that makes me feel like a good mom, wife, and homemaker all at the same time. I wish I was a better homemaker, but alas I'd rather be sane ;) ButI am thankful for baking, for good baked goods, for the internet's endless supply of recipes, for all it's yumminess that puts a smile across every face that eats the yumminess... mmmmm

p.s. blog readers I am really bad at responding to comments, I really appreciate them and all the support! thanks

I think I'll be trying those scones this weekend.
DH LOVES pumpkin! His love of pumpkin cookies 21 years ago helped creat our first 9 lb baby girl. Because if there is a cookie around, I'll eat it.

YOu totally made amazing scones and put them on an amazingly cute plate just so you could take a great picture to post about didn't you? I'm going to try these tonight to go with dinner, thanks!
