Hi everyone,

I  hope you have been out enjoying the wonderful Fall weather we have been having.  Have any of you had a chance to visit the pumpkin patch?  The Laity Pumpkin patch is a great one- the north side is suited for younger children, for a direct link click here

My daughters and I love to bake pumpkin muffins together too.  Here is a recipe we love and want to share with you.  Do you have any favourite pumpkin recipes?  Send them to me if you do at marianna.cavezza@burnabyschools.ca
