  -This month I decided to bake three different recipies made with pumpkin! Here is the first one.
  -
  -*Pumpkin Purée*
  -
  -First off, make the pumpkin purée with a small pumpkin. I usually make this the night before I want to make a pumpkin recipe.

  -* Cut the pumpkin halves lengthwise into six slices. 
  -* Arrange the pumpkin slices outter skin down on a baking pan, no oil is needed.
  -* Bake the pumpkin for one hour, or until you can easily poke a fork through the skin.
  -* Once ready, take out of the even and let it cool.
  -* After it has cooled down, use you hands to peel the outer skin off the pulp.

  -Now for the smoothie!
  +Since fall is here I decided to bake three different pumpkin recipies! Here is the first one: Pumpkin Smoothie Jar.
   
   This is a really easy breakfast to make. It smells so good, it'll make you want to curl up with a good book and a hot cup of coffee by the fire while you slowly enjoy every bite.

   *Pumpkin Smoothie*

  +The first step to making a pumpkin smoothie jar is to make the smoothie. For this recipe, I used the pumpkin purée that I make myself, but you can definitely use store bought pumpkin purée. Scroll down to view the simple recipe to make your very own pumpkin purée

  . Arrange in a bowl or jar in an aesthetically pleasing way :)
  . Add fruits or other nuts according to your cravings today!
  
  You're done! You can also just drink the smoothie on it's own. I would suggest simply adding a bit more almond milk to thin it out a bit.

  *Pumpkin Purée*
  
  You can either buy pumpkin purée in a can or make your own. I prefer to make my own, it's pretty simple, all you need is a small pumpkin. Pro tip: make it the night before you want to make your favourite pumpkin recipe.
