Welcome to Senior Salon Pit Stop #383
Welcome to this week’s Weekly Wrap-up and Blog Link-up.
It’s a new year at the Senior Salon Pit Stop and it’s time to vroom-vroom to all the great posts that everyone is creating all around the the blogosphere! Scroll down to check out my Weekly Wrap-up along with my Featured posts from the previous Pit Stop!

What’s been going on at Homemade on a Weeknight?
We actually got a little bit of snow this last week here in rural Montana. It was a little preview to the winter that is coming in just a few short months. I did something this last week that I have always wanted to do – I made pumpkin puree from a pumpkin that we grew in our little garden! It was actually easier than I thought. I simply cleaned the pumpkin then split it in half. Then I scrapped out the seeds and pulp and lay the two halves cut side down on a parchment paper covered baking sheet. I baked it in a 400degF oven for an hour. Next I let it cool for about 30 minutes before scraping the flesh from the skin. Into the blender until smooth and – voila! – fresh homemade pumpkin puree!


What have you been up to this past week?
