After feeling awful yesterday morning I needed some light comfort food to keep my tummy happy happy…

I cleaned up the house a bit, dusted and cleaned the kitchen (cooking is always better with a clean kitchen)

I got the pumpkin in from outside cut and roasted it and then pureed it…

Then I made an amazing Vegetable Chowder… a variation of a recipe that I got on Recipezaar (I add a lot more seasonings and more veggies and broccoli instead of peas and not as much dairy) and we ate that with some of my sourdough bread…

I started to fill some mason jars with pumpkin puree when I remembered a recipe that I had “stumbled” on a few days ago…

Pumpkin Butter

So easy to make and SO delicious!

One batch made 4 jars worth…

and of course while it was still warm I had to scoop a bit on some vanilla ice cream…
