Happy Monday, everyone!

I have a lot of great recipes to share with you this week,

and will be posting everyday for the next five days.

It will be a theme week of sorts.

The occasion?

Well…..I just can’t seem to get pumpkin out of my mind.

I love the stuff this time of year!

And though there are already quite a few heavenly pumpkin recipes on this site, I am still finding myself with leftover canned pumpkin in my fridge on a regular basis lately.

And so I have for you…

All of this weeks recipes use pumpkin! If you hate pumpkin…wow. I’m really sorry, and hope you’ll find it in your heart to forgive me and come back next week when I’ve got this pumpkin fascination out of my system. Thanks for your cooperation.

For those of you who will hang around with me….you’ll be seeing recipes that range from quick and (kind of) healthy, cute and clever, easy kid loving hearty, and will even include a show stopping dessert.

Hope you will join me all week long!

I’ve had this Pumpkin Fudge, from my friend

Laura’s Real Mom Kitchen blog on my list to make for a couple of years now. PUMPKIN FUDGE!!! Seriously. It tastes like the essence of fall. It does require a candy thermometer and about 15 minutes of stirring. If you are up for that….you are going to be in love with this tasty fall treat. Let’s make it!
