Thanks giving, Week 44

I'm thankful for recipes, especially those that:

• Yield meals for several nights, like the soups and chili I make in the colder weather.
• Are relatively easy and tasty and not too, too terribly unhealthy (like the carrot, oatmeal, applesauce, raisin muffins recipe I got from my mom and that Oliver refers to as "cupcakes").
• Are somewhat seasonal, like the one I found today for Quinoa Pumpkin Pancakes.
• Can be made ahead of time and frozen mostly prepared, like the few dishes I'll make in early December to be de-thawed and eaten after baby comes.  I did this when I was pregnant with Oliver and found it really nice to have some big, tasty meals that I could pop out when I just didn't feel like cooking -- but did feel like eating :)
• Oliver can help with.  That child just loves to help.  Thank goodness for our step stool -- and hand vac.
