table of contents
this for that information
measurement information
information on the different types of pumpkin
information on making homemade pumpkin puree, by baking or boiling
information on freezing pumpkin, or the finished recipes
how to store roasted pumpkin seeds
You may also want to add a photograph of finished recipes, or of your children making each recipe. A nice two-page spread would be the recipe and picture on one page, and a journaled story about making or eating the dish on the next page.
You may also want to make this book in the shape of a pumpkin for something fun to do.
