pumpkins & spice, and everything nice… happy thanksgiving, everyone!
today is a special holiday in canada — thanksgiving day — when we gather together to give thanks, and share good times and good food with family and friends. i’m so thankful for all the wonderful people and experiences in my life. and one of things that i’m thankful for this year is my newfound love of cooking! so i’d like to thank my fellow foodie bloggers out there who inspire me everyday to continue on my culinary adventures. special thanks to caroline at sweet caroline’s cooking for the shoutout with the versatile blogger’s award. :)

for thanksgiving brunch today, mom made some fantastic pumpkin pancakes. here’s the simple recipe, adapted from a save-on-foods grocery flyer.
the pumpkin batter:
combine the following ingredients in a large prep bowl:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (for a healthier alternative, you can substitute 1 cup for whole-wheat flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp organic cane sugar
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
