Pumpkin Trifle

When it's Fall, not only do I make 50 different kinds of soups and stews, I also try to find 50 ways to use pumpkin.

One of the faves around here is my pumpkin trifle.

It's a recipe I got  from a fellow mom who brought it to a playdate back when I only had two kids.

And did things like HOST playdates, paint, use Play-doh and make crafts.

Ha.

That doesn't happen now.

But this trifle is really awesome and when I make it, I remember fondly all of those educational things I did with my older two. 

They'll probably be the smartest.

But I breastfed the other three longer so maybe it will all equal out?

Annnnywhoooo...

Start out by preparing a box of instant vanilla pudding (big box).

Mix in a big can of pumpkin pie mix (filling).

1/3 cup brown sugar.

Cinnamon to taste.

Prepare a spice cake.

They layer the pudding mix, spice cake, Cool-Whip.

Repeat.

Repeat.
