Pumpkin please!

I have a confession to make...I might be just a little Pumpkin Obsessed! I absolutely LOVE this time of year. Pumpkin breads, donuts, bagels, scones, cereal, Pop-Tarts, and of course, my original obsession: Pumpkin Pie! When I was a child, my mother used to make two pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving...one for everyone else and one for Heather. No lie.

So of course when I came across this recipe for Tortellini with Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce in Food Network Magazine, I had to try it. Yes, it was a recipe targeted for "kids" but so what?! I am still that little 9 year old that can eat a whole pumpkin pie herself! The recipe itself was so simple a kid really could make it all by themselves too. A few simple ingredients turned a Tuesday night dinner into a rich, warm, comforting fall meal.

Pumpkin Delight

And yes, it tastes as good as it looks! Will I be sick of all things pumpkin by the time Thanksgiving comes around? Maybe. But just so you know, a pumpkin whoopie pie is the key to my heart!
