Pumpkin Time

Fall is here and pumpkins are such a part of fall.
My father-in-law loves all things pumpkin and his mother used to cook all sorts of pumpkin things for him. My friend, Julie, also loves the pumpkin flavor and gets excited about all of the seasonal pumpkin items. I like it too. It reminds me of fall and cooler weather.
I've toasted pumpkin seeds, but I have mainly only had pumpkin flavor in desserts(and from a can) and as a flavor in drinks. So, I am going to attempt to make some new dishes that have pumpkin or pumpkin flavor(and cook and use an actual pumpkin instead of just the canned kind). Here is a list of some pumpkin recipes I am going to try out in the next month or so. Most are desserts, because that is really fun for me, but I am going to try some other things too.

I'll will just list them and then if you click on the recipe name, it will take you to our recipe blog where I will have the entire recipe. And, feel free to share if you have any great pumpkin recipes.
