An ode to all things pumpkin!!

I love fall and I love pumpkins. They go so well together, that tonight I'm making Penne with Creamy Pumpkin Sauce. Actually, it will be more like farfalle with creamy pumpkin sauce. I really like to combine it with some great focaccia (I have a great recipe which I'll post another time) and whatever vegetable I've got around. I discovered the recipe a couple years ago... you can find it here. The fried rosemary is fabulous!

Enjoy!

To get things started...this doesn't really qualify as a "recipe" per se, but since we just ate it for dinner I thought I'd include it as an idea for a quick and easy dinner.

This is the new Anderson Recipe Blog!!! As the person seeking the most recipes, I decided to start a "family cooking blog" of sorts. I'll add all family members as contributors (once I figure that out) and that way you can post most anything you want - recipes preferred!

Have at it.....
