#PumpkinCan

“Mom, what can I eat?”

“Mom, I’m hungry”

“Mom, there is nothing in this house!!”

“Mom, I’m starving…”

“Dad, where’s mom, I’m hungry….” :)

Ahhh, the sweet sounds of summer;) I am hoping this recipe will help ease those shouts of hunger from your brood. This easy pumpkin snack cake is a great portable snack, perfect for picnics or an early race to swim practice. Slice it up when it cools and wrap in wax paper…good to go. It is packed with lots of fabulous vitamins because it has a whole cup of pumpkin in the mix. Win win:)     Be sure to search on your favorite social media #pumpkincan for a ton of great recipes that have pumpkin in the mix:) It is a great way to stay on track this summer. I have posted a few here too:) I may or may not have been eating this everyday for breakfast since the day I made them. They are perfect with coffee….

I hope you are having a great kick off to summer time fun! We are knee deep in boxes. Our closing is next week and it seems I have packed everything…and nothing. I can’t thank my mom enough for helping me! She keeps me on track and focused….thanks mommy!!
