Pumpkin Pie Smoothie!

So in mid September we got the girls a pumpkin for Halloween.

I guess we were excited and maybe got it too early, because it rotted into a pile of mush.  So we went out again, the week before Halloween and got another one.  We had intentions of carving it also, but didn’t get a chance.  So last night we decided to roast that sucker.

It took all night because we had to do it in pieces.  We are now swimming in fresh pumpkin puree!  I stuck half in the freezer, but used some of it to make some smoothies.  They were delicious!
