I had to laugh because my own daughters had been given an orange colored "Snowball" in their classroom treat bags. Snowballs are those gross balls of processed junk covered in colored coconut shavings that won't rot or spoil after years and years unopened. Both of my daughters were intrigued by the shape and squishy bounce-back feel when holding the Snowball and thought they would be yummy. Neither one of them took another bite and I threw them away. I had to laugh because, despite the fact that there were no real food items that made up that concoction, they were not impressed and it made me feel good. I enjoy sharing healthy foods with my girls and we are huge raw fruit eaters. My oldest daughter takes her lunch every day and I always make sure she has several fresh fruit items. She has peers ask her what particular fruits are.....and most of these fruits are common grocery store fruits that I find in the organic section, like pairs and kiwi. She shares her fruit knowledge with her friends and fellow students and continues to bring new fruits each day in her lunch box. I love different pumpkin recipes!

I tried a vegan pumpkin whoopee pie and it was amazing! I would definitely try a pumpkin cream elephant ear. I love pumpkin. I tried a vegan pumpkin whoopee pie and it was amazing!

I might be a little suspicious of that too :-) It is the season for pumpkins so I guess it's ok to try anything once, right. Pumpkin Elephant Ears? hmmm, that’s new.
