Last Minute Pumpkin Dessert Recipes

November 2, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner? Which means everywhere you look are items containing Pumpkin. My younger boys have been begging to cook the pumpkins that they got last month during our visit to the pumpkin patch and pumpkin desserts are top of their list! I keep putting off cooking the pumpkins for the time it will take to cook and process. I usually use the stove or crockpot to cook up our pumpkins but why not try the instant pot this year?

This morning I thought I would share some pumpkin dessert recipes with you so that I can have a reference to use and so you can fix for yummy instant pot pumpkin recipes for Thanksgiving. I will use our fresh pumpkin or possibly freeze it for future use but canning it would also work if you have some large pumpkins to put up!

Today I want to share some tips for getting your beginner reader to read the Bible. I want to start off by saying that this post is just as much advice for my own family as it is yours. We are not the best examples of daily Bible reading and that is something I want to change. I realize that change takes time AND a conscious decision to be more purposeful. I want to include both Bible stories and Bible songs into our daily homeschool routine.

Tips for Getting Your Beginner Reader to Read the Bible
