Wacky Weather

Thanks to a rainy spring and hot summer temperatures, plants in my garden are maturing much faster this season than normal.

Take my pumpkins, for example. I harvested a gorgeous, medium-sized pumpkin in early July -- at least one month earlier than usual. I can tell it's fully ripe because the seeds are filled out and firm.

Eat The Pot

I'm making a delicious one pot meal with this pumpkin. It will be the vessel in which I bake a chicken.

Don't be afraid to infuse flavor in this dish -- pumpkin is a bland vegetable. So, when you season it, season both the chicken and the pumpkin.

This recipe uses the Sweet Seasons Spice Blend.
