It's finally fall
It looks like fall in New York.. Colder weather.. leaves falling.. (its a little early for that) and pumpkins for sale.. so that gave me the idea of cooking with ..... you guessed it.. PUMPKIN. Yum.
I think Jon is going to be really jealous I made something with pumpkin puree because he loves Pumpkin .. well pumpkin bread to be exact. Well especially when his mom makes it.. Oh that reminds me I need the recipe for that.
I still wasn't exactly sure how to incorporate pumpkin into what I was going to make so I went to the store and let inspiration take the wheel I picked up a can of pumpkin and some chocolate chips. I figured that I would try the whole "cake mix and pumpkin puree thing" I've seen alot of people make cake with a can of soda and a cake mix.. Don't really like soda too much so I decided to use pumpkin. Lets hope I didn't screw it up lol
So with it being fall that means.. not too soon until a wonderful day. MY birthday. (october 13th) woo hoo .. I have always loved birthdays I just learned that the Canadian Thanksgiving is on my birthday. Wow. you learn something everyday.
Oooh.. and taste tests are in and the Pumpkin Chocolate chip cake is AMAZING.. It is really moist and velvety and has just a hint of pumpkin.. Perfect.. Think I might make it for thanksgiving this year.. Wherever Jon and I end up.
Oh and just wanted you to know that nachos make the world a better place. :P
Also Jon got a job( yayyy) , I had a feeling he would get something while I was in New York. So congrats Jonny .

All you really need to do is preheat the oven to 350 and mix the cake mix in with the pumpkin and (I added a little pinch of Allspice, but you don't need to put that in) and pour that into a baking pan and then stick it in the oven for about 30 minutes. Then take it out and let it cool
P.S- It will make the house smell really reallly good, so if your dad has people coming over they will tell you that whatever you are baking smells delicious. Awkward.

I'm glad to hear Jon got a job. That's good (on the path to great) in today's day and age. I love Pumpkin flavored anything in the fall. :-) The only thing I've never loved is Pumpkin pie. Can't figure out why. Looks scrumptious and those nachos look like heaven. Yum..love the post Rach.
