Sunday we went to a bonfire/ hotdog roast/ chili kind of a gathering.
I made a dish to take along although none was required.
I roasted some pumkins and pumkin looking squash. Mashed them up with butter, salt and pepper, heavy nutmeg and a little raw sugar. Topped it off with pecans and craisens mixed with a litle more sugar and butter. Baked it at 375 to let the toppings get a little crisp and plump.
My boys (7 & 9) loved the idea of the pumpkin casserole! I made a pumpkin lasagne with a pesto filling, instead of tomato sauce, and the regular ricotta filling and cheeses, and they loved it. I will have to try this! The 9 yo loves to help me cook, and he wants to put some roasted pumpkin seeds on the top of the casserole, too. That might be good!
