Autumn Fun & Toasty Tid Bits

I love fall.
I also love shopping.
But you know what makes me just about the happiest lil lady that you ever did meet??
Produce shopping right before Thanksgiving!


And lucky me!... I live right around the corner from a quaint little Produce market!
It's owned by this wonderful European family.
They always have what I need for super cheap!



Which brings me to my main point :)
This week, I'm making the cutest lil mini Pumpkin-Pecan Pies ever!!
And here's a big tip for all you bakers and chefs out there...

ready....

DON'T.BUY.CANNED.PUMPKIN!!!!!!!!

I don't say that because "I'm such a purest and everything in my kitchen is from scratch!"
I say it because it's way incredibly cheap!
Here's the pumpkin I bought for a whopping $3...



... Of course, this was after I literally tossed it off my balcony so I didn't have to ruin one of my good kitchen knives ;)

After I cook this up, skin it, and puree it, it'll probably be close to 6-8 cans worth.

....Just sayin'.
