It’s that season when all things pumpkin are the rage. Maybe it’s the hundreds of pumpkins calling to us at the stores/farmer’s markets or maybe it’s the crisp Fall air, but nature’s advertising compels me to try a new pumpkin recipe every year.
Sheila is right there with me and the challenge is not to come up with something new, but how to rein in our enthusiasm and just pick one to share.
We looked at the Kerrian recipe list and saw no pumpkin smoothies on it, so, for your sipping pleasure, here is the Kerrian Pumpkin Smoothie.
And, in keeping with our kitchen’s body-free policy, no people were harmed in the making of this great drink. Promise. 😉
