I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Pumpkin Linguini

Well, we're halfway through September. Those big old orange pumpkins will be in the markets soon. Here's a link to make easy puréed pumpkin. Or you could use canned for this simple linguini dish.

12 oz linquini, cooked as per package directions
reserved pasta water
2 tbsps butter or olive oil, or a little of both
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling!)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
fresh basil leaves, I used 5 or 6
1/4 tsp nutmeg
salt and pepper


Melt butter/ heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat and add garlic for 1 minute.



 Stir in torn basil leaves and pumpkin, then add milk, parmesan and nutmeg.

 Add salt and pepper to taste and simmer a few minutes to heat through.


Toss with drained linguini, adding a bit of reserved pasta water if needed for desired consistency.

 Serve with more parmesan, torn basil, salt and lots of pepper!
