    Pumpkin Roundup #2 2018: Breakfast

    It’s time for another pumpkin roundup!! <insert applause and cheers>  Today’s roundup is all about breakfast.  Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, other than dessert.  Is dessert a meal of the day?  Well, for me it is. Anyways, I love breakfast.  My day is not complete without it.  It’s that source of fuel that helps me get started on my day.  So I definitely wanted to include breakfast in my roundup as I did before. In this roundup, there are breakfast foods that should be pleasing to everyone.  I admit that I had to include some pastries.  It wouldn’t be a proper roundup without them.  So, grab some…

    Pumpkin Roundup #2: Breakfast

    Here is the second round of pumpkin recipes.  All of these tasty treats can start your morning off right.  Remember, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Easy Mini Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Cinnamon rolls are a breakfast delicacy, but can be time consuming to make from scratch.  This recipe, from Two Peas & Their Pod, uses refrigerated pastry dough to simplify the process.  And it also uses pumpkin butter (never heard of it before, must try it) in the filling. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes Many kids, and parents alike, enjoy pancakes for breakfast.  I personally prefer waffles.  But you are sure to ‘fall’ for these pumpkin cakes from…
