Steel Cut Tropical Oats

Talk about "Throwback  Thursday", today I had a bowl of oats that was much like what I used to make for my toddlers and babies. Except of course, at the time theirs looked like this:

Pumpkin Mash

LOOOVE Pumpkin. In case you didn't know yet. You can make this savory or sweet. You can use pumpkin puree made in a crock pot like I posted HERE. Or you can quarter the pumpkin, remove the seeds and roast it in an oven. Once fork tender, scoop out the pumpkin flesh and puree or mash.

If you prefer you can cube the pumpkin like this Roasted Butternut Squash recipe.
