Mmmmm Pumpkin....Or Not

Fall makes me happy. Like every other person on the internet I could gush and gush about how great everything fall is. But I won't (at least today..). Instead I want to talk pumpkin. Right now everyone is breaking out all things pumpkin. I don't blame them because something about pumpkin just screams fall and happiness. So, because I like happiness, I decided to break out the pumpkin and make pumpkin pudding (recipe found here). I had to wait two weeks to make this pudding because first I didn't have pumpkin pie spice, then I didn't have just plain vanilla pudding, then i didn't have whipped topping. Yeah basically I couldn't get my act together. Finally, I made the pudding. I lovingly stirred it all together, patiently waited the two hours for it to set, and carefully constructed it. Turns out, I forgot I dislike the flavor of pumpkin. 

At this point you are questioning my intelligence, rightly so. Turns out that every year (literally every year)I forget that I hate pumpkin. I get so excited about fall that everything pumpkin looks divine. Epic Fail. Sometimes (read: Most of the time) I  struggle as a functioning human being. HOWEVER, there are two tested and proven pumpkin recipes I do actually like. 1) plain pumpkin muffins 2) pumpkin cheesecake with gingersnap crust, probably because neither have a strong pumpkin flavor...

Anyway, if you actually like pumpkin, then this recipe is probably delicious (everything they make on that blog looks divine).

Happy Pumpkin Dessert Making (or not)

Insincerely Yours,
