Tis the season for all things pumpkin! My family (especially me) gets giddy with all the orange orbs I am pulling from the garden. You can frequently find cookie sheets full of various pumpkins and winter squashes baking away in my oven this time of year.<\/p>\n

Fresh puree is infinitely tastier than any variety you find in a can. It is an extra step, but I liken the difference to a fresh tomato off the garden vine versus\u00a0a canned tomato\u2014no comparison! In case you’re interested, I wrote a post to help you make your own pumpkin puree<\/a>\u00a0and explain that all pumpkins are not created equal.<\/p>\n

Here is a quick recipe for pumpkin bars that your family will love! And you, as a mommy, can be happy that a vegetable is lurking within. You can eat it as is or consider\u00a0some of these fun toppings:<\/p>\n
