Move over Betty Crocker, it's cold out and I'm nesting.  Monday night I made my stuffed shells (finally) with a small twist as I wanted to see what a wee bit of pumpkin in the stuffing mix would do.  They're decent, not a ton of pumpkin flavor, perhaps I could have used a little more.
 
Since I then had a partial can of pumpkin I went hunting for recipes to use it, preferrably with some cream cheese, and came out with a bread mix.  Despite the cook time being a good bit longer than the recipe called for they turned out quite yummy, they being one regular loaf shape and 12 cute little pumpkin top shaped muffins.
 
Last night I totally should have just ate leftover stuffed shells, but I also had a container of brussel sprouts that needed to get cooked up before bad things happened to them, and an Alton recipe I had been eager to try.  I'm simplifying a wee bit but:  pecans, not a whole ton of butter, brussel sprouts, and cranberries with salt and pepper.  Frickin yum.  So today's leftover lunch is a bit eclectic, but I remain well fed.
