Freezer Cooking Day




If you have not heard about it already Money Saving Mom and FishMama are hosting a live-blogging and tweeting Freezer Cooking Day that includes more than 250 other women around the country who are participating. I got a late start since I did not have time to join in yesterday, but I have been cooking away this morning!

I started with cutting, gutting, and roasting of the 10 pumpkins! (If you don't know why I have 10 pumpkins see this post).




Then I pureed all the pumpkin and divided it into the bowls and containers based on my plans for the recipes. And roasted the pumpkin seeds (lots of pumpkin seeds)!



I ended up with:

1 1/2 cups for Pumpkin Pancakes
1 1/2 cups for Pumpkin Waffles
3 1/2 cups for Spice Cake Cupcakes
3 1/2 cups for Sausage Pumpkin Lasagna
2 cups for Baby Food
6 cups to Freeze for use later
Lots of pumpkin seeds

Recipes for each will follow!

Up first...Spice Cake Cupcakes...

Yay! I'm loving all the pumpkin. Do you have a good pumpkin waffle recipe? I'd love to try it. Thanks, Angela

Angela, I did make pumpkin waffles later in the day and there is a later post about it...but there is not seceret recipe. I use a box waffle mix and subsitute pumpkin for all of the oil and about 1/2 of the milk or water called for on the box, you can use this same method with any favorite waffle or pancake recipe!
