It’s that time of year again: Fall, aka Pumpkin season! It’s the time of year when pumpkin flavored treats and scents litter the shelves of grocery store and make their way onto every restaurants’ menus. There’s a good reason for that- pumpkin is delicious!
I adore buying pumpkin flavored, scented, or shaped items from stores, but I also love making them myself at home. There are so many ways to use pumpkin in cooking, and I plan on making the most of this ingredient as I cook this fall.
To that end, I have compiled a list of some of my favorite tried and true pumpkin recipes and some additional recipes that I will definitely be trying out this fall.
For you other pumpkin fanatics out there, I selected a few recipes from every category so you can really sprinkle your recipes throughout various meals and occasions. Or plan a pumpkin-themed party and choose one or two to serve from each category for a memorable fall occasion! Happy eating!
