Some moms celebrate the fall season by busting out all their autumn decor. Some beautifully orchestrate family trips to the pumpkin patch. Others seek out the best views for changing tree color. While these fun activities are always on my fall bucket list too, I find that for me, one of the most enjoyable ways to get festive in the changing seasons is to start using pumpkin in my kitchen with reckless abandon. Pumpkin season – I am here for you!
Pumpkin is so adaptable and full of vitamins and nutrients. It can be made into sweet or savory foods. Pumpkin can literally be eaten at every meal of the day (not that I recommend doing that all in ONE day – I do have my limits). Over the years, I’ve compiled my favorite pumpkin recipes into their own chapter in one of my recipe binders. Here are some of my favorites!
