Pumpkin FroYo Cubes

It's hot out here, isn't it?

"Uh Huh."

The water isn't cooling you off enough?

"Gulp, Gulp."

"Can we go in and have a snack?"

OK

Let's make Pumpkin FroYo Cubes.  It

only takes two ingredients, pumpkin and yogurt.

Just mix some pumpkin in with the yogurt and stir.

"Smells yummy."

"I'd like to have some now, please!"

Spoon mixture into ice cube trays.

After the ice cube trays are full,

place in the freezer for a few hours.

"A few hours?!?"

Yes, they are in the freezer.  You have to wait.

"Boo."

When they are frozen just pop the cube out and serve.

"Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!"

Jenny, you know you are not supposed to

be on the counter.  That's better.

Enjoy!  Hope that is cool and refreshing for you.

"MMMM"



Jenny's Present

Jenny, what do you have on?

Do you want to show everyone what you got

for your birthday from Grandma & Grandpa?

"I suppose."

Jenny has never worn clothes, never wanted to

wear clothes, but she got this present for her

birthday and she looks so cute!

"Um, I can't move my legs very well."

You kind of look like a wiener dog in that.

"Well, they are cute so that's ok with me."

"Why do you keep looking at me?"

Do you want to take it off?

"Yes, please."



Happy 8th Birthday, Jenny!

"You say it's my birthday...does that mean treats?"

Yes!  I am going to make you some pupcakes.

Since it's your birthday, I'll let you sit

on something comfy while you wait.

"Why can't I just leave this bed in the kitchen?

It smells nice in here."

First mix the egg, honey, peanut butter, and applesauce.

"I think I'll take a little nap."

Stir in shredded carrots.

Then, stir in the flour and baking soda.

Line 6 cups of a muffin pan.

Fill cups with batter.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

"I can see the oven just fine from here."

Just wanted to zoom in our her birthday attire.

While the pupcakes bake,

mix cream cheese and peanut butter together.

It will have a thick consistancy more like a

frosting than an icing.

Let them cool before frosting.

"They smell so delicious!"

"Please be cool now."

Frost and decorate.  I used a mini milk bone.

Happy Birthday to you...

"nummrarm yumm"

"What's next, presents?"

She has to make sure her head gets all the way in the bag!

"That's it, huh...no more treats?!?"

Here is the full recipe:

1 egg

1/4 cup peanut butter (natural)

1/4 cup unsweetend applesauce

1/4 cup honey

1/2 to 1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup oat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

Mix all ingredients together.  Place batter in lined muffin tin.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.

Cool and frost pupcakes

Guess what?!

Awe...she's sleeping.

Jenny, wake up. I have exciting news!

This weekend is your birthday!

"smile"

You're already dressed for the party!

Stay tuned for birthday cupcakes!

"Slurp....yum!"



Revised Pumpkin Biscuits

"I think I smell something good coming from the kitchen!"

"Sniff, Sniff, Sniff."

"Those smell like my treats...what are you making?"

I decided to make a modified version of the

Pumpkin Biscuits.  Instead of using wheat flour,

I'm using oat flour and halving the recipe.

"I'm not sure what modified is, but I hope it's tasty!"

They are in the oven baking right now.

"Why do these things always take so long?"

"Are you STILL taking my picture?"

"I hope they will be done soon, I have things to do...

like take a nap and well, that's about it I suppose."

"She has taken them out of the oven and

I can see them cooling up there." 

Here they are, Jenny!

"Those are definitely tasty morsels!"

Here is the revised recipe for a half batch:

1 egg

1/4 cup canned pure pumpkin puree

1 T. dry milk powder

1 1/4 cups oat flour

Mix ingredients together in a bowl.  Add a tablespoon of water or enough until the dough comes together.  Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.  Cut into desired shapes and place on a lined cookie sheet.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.  Flip biscuits over and bake an additional 20 minutes.  Let cool on pan for 5 minutes.  Serve and/or Store.
