Pumpkin Pie?

The goal was to make GF pumpkin bread. I had eaten this delicious GF pumpkin bread a while back and the directions were use GF pancake mix and find an online recipe for pumpkin bread. So I read up on pumpkin bread recipes, got GF cake mix, leftout sugar, milk, and butter--but added an egg AND WAY TOO MUCH pumpkin puree, and lots of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. And 1 hour later on a 25 minute cake got a cake like exterior and pumpkin pie interior. Everyone else had creamcheese frosting on theirs. It was eaten but there were no request for seconds.

Maybe my standards are too high, but I count success as requests for seconds and no leftovers.

Watermelon Sorbet

Yummy. This ended up being even better than mango sorbet!

Watermelon Sorbet

1/2 large watermelon, cubed
1 lemon
1 lime
1/2 sugar
1 c water

Make simple syrup, juice citrus, and to watermelon, puree, and 1/2 to ice cream maker and freeze other 1/2 as is for later. An extra large 8 cup measuring cup and a stick blender work really well for this.

Delicious. And something I could probably eat large quantities of, 2 bowls so far, where as I have only split a bowl of mango sorbet.

Mango Sorbet

Just in case you were thinking of skipping out on game night--

Mango Sorbet

8 mangoes
4 limes
1 c water
1/2 c sugar

Squeeze limes, make simple syrup, puree mangoes, combine and put HALF (4 c) in your 2qt ice cream maker. Repeat. AND eat at game night.
