The Easiest Way to Make Pumpkin Pancakes:
Have your 12-year-old whip up your mom's pancake recipe, then shoo her out of the kitchen. Add a half a cup of canned pumpkin, a couple shakes of cinnamon, ginger, cloves & nutmeg. Throw in a tablespoon of brown sugar for fun. Cook and serve pancakes to happy kids.
The Most Frustrating Way to Make Pumpkin Oatmeal:
Have your husband ask what time you're going to the mechanic for your overdue oil change. Begin to curse, realizing you meant to leave half an hour earlier. Get dressed, get gas, get scolded by mechanic for not realizing you were two quarts low, go for a walk while waiting, come home. Cook 1/2 cup oatmeal with milk, water, 1/4 cup canned pumpkin, and a couple shakes of cinnamon, etc. Eat with a fork because you didn't run the dishwasher last night. Realize you should have used more pumpkin, and maybe left the milk out. Look forward to lunch in two hours.
