Pumpkin Tomato Pasta feat. Newman's Own & Video!

Lights. Camera. Action.  

I was SO excited when I found out that I was lucky enough to be chosen by Foodbuzz and Newman's Own to create a recipe video to be featured on the Foodbuzz and Newman's Own website!  I had to submit my recipe proposal and video idea and I was one of the Foodbuzz featured publishers to be sent a free Flip HD camera to record the video and keep!   Thank you Foodbuzz and Newman's Own!

The recipe I chose to make features one of my favorite fall ingredients: pumpkin! (if you are a regular reader you may have noticed that almost every recent blog post includes a recipe with pumpkin) 

I was very honored to make the video but very nervous as well.  Luckily I had my trusty director, video editor, sidekick, and husband Ryan helping me.  He was so wonderful to help me with the filming and editing and he put in a lot of hours to help make sure that the video was top-notch (or at least somewhat humorous).   Thanks Ry! (your payment of beer is in the fridge ;)).
