Homemade Pumpkin Honey Butter

Try This— Homemade Pumpkin Honey Butter

Of all things to impulse buy, 10 cans of pumpkin puree was probably the most ridiculous. Not my proudest moment. Still, it feels a lot like Fall around here, so I might as well embrace this whole pumpkin thing. In search of some not-so-pumpkiny pumpkin recipes, I came across this cool looking Pumpkin Honey Butter recipe.

Try This---Homemade Pumpkin Honey ButterI definitely love bread, and rolls, and biscuits, and waffles, and—well, you get the idea, but what’s bread without butter? So I made this Pumpkin Honey Butter last night and it’s absolutely delicious, if I do say so myself! It’s super easy to make and I’m not kidding when I tell you that I actually reached for this heavenly spread instead of cookie butter for my morning waffle today. That’s really an incredible thing right there, since I haven’t even admitted I have a cookie butter problem yet! You must try this!

3 Ingredient Honey Pumpkin Face Mask (Perfect for Fall)—Spa Days at Home

I have 8 cans of pumpkin puree in the pantry as we speak—down from a whopping 10… Don’t ask… Okay. Okay. I’ll tell you what happened. I went to the grocery store hungry, and naturally, I bought a ton of things I didn’t need. Any and everything that was on sale I placed in my cart because my stomach told me to. Sigh. Bear witness to my shame— pumpkin puree. The real kicker is that I don’t much like pumpkin pie, and pumpkin spice lattes are just wrong on so many levels.

As with all food that I have an excess of, I decided to slather it on my face because, well, because life is dutiful. If you’re going to go with homemade beauty products, I say go big or go home. I did a little research on pumpkins and they are seriously jam-packed with all kinds of goodies for your skin. Pumpkins  are a great source of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and beta carotene. I’m all about spa days at home, so I whipped up this awesome Honey Pumpkin Face Mask. Check it out!
