And let it be pumpkin!!! We’re kicking off the pumpkin season with these Soft Cracked Pumpkin Cookies that practically melt in your mouth. I’ve been wanting to make these super soft treats for a long time, usually I always prepare them with a lemon flavor, i.e., the Crumbly and Quick Lemon Treats that are good all year round, and I must say that even with pumpkin they are really soft and delicious. I first cooked the pumpkin almost steamed, and it cooked in just a few minutes. With pumpkin, you can really make so many sweet and savory recipes; it’s a truly special ingredient. It has many properties and very few calories. Rich in water, carotene, vitamin A, C, and B1. As for cooking the pumpkin, I assure you that as I’ve described, it’s very quick and simple. Regarding cleaning the pumpkin, I recommend doing it with a potato peeler, which is much simpler.

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. My name is Francesca, a true native of Taranto. I love cooking desserts and traditional dishes, and my inspiration comes from the women in my family. Photography, for me, is about capturing the moment… in a shot, you hold your breath and then start again, savoring every little detail as you develop it. Why Ethra? She was the wife of Phalanthus, the founder of Taranto, the Spartan city. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all… there are already so many of you following me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
