The baking season is upon us...FALL

Naturally when I started my baking excursion I began with a pumpkin!!! Not only did I bake the few seeds that I found inside but I also baked the entire squash and divided it among ziplock baggies for future baking as well :)

Although Halloween is now over, I still have one more pumpkin that I am saving for a rainy day.

My roommate is also a good cook! She has her own blog that she posts many recipes on that you can check out here conarteypaciencia.blogspot.com.es The picture above is a rice recipe but the name has escaped me. This is why I have to write absolutely everything down! (I can just hear my parents laughing now) Below you will find my step by step picture of the gluten-free pumpkin cinnamon rolls that I made. I AM SO PROUD!! This gluten free thing is turning out to be easier than I imagined.

Oooey Gooey baked deliciousness

Ready to enjoy!

My second batch of homemade applesauce! One of my favorite treats to make in the fall and healthy too because I make it without any sugar!

Butternut squash and caramelized onion galette with goat cheese

And lastly, olive oil and orange cake! This treat is gluten-free as well!! This is only a beginning to the many treats to come. I plan to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, my favorite, for the teachers next week. Also, my roommates birthday is on Monday so I will make her something to enjoy as well!
