Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years.

31 Perfect Pumpkin Recipes

31 Perfect Pumpkin Recipes

31 easy pumpkin recipes for October, one for each day in the month of pumpkins! Whether you roast your own pumpkin or use canned pumpkin puree these pumpkin recipes are perfect!

Pumpkins are everywhere and it’s the perfect time to take advantage of them because they won’t last long. Although pumpkin pie seems to get all of the attention, and with good reason, pumpkin is pretty versatile and it can be used in many different things both sweet and savoury from desserts to breakfasts to appetizers, side dishes and even mains! I am definitely a fan of pumpkin and I always have fun using it in new dishes at this time of year! I thought that it was about time to gather up and share a few of my favourite pumpkin recipes!

A lot of these recipes call for pumpkin puree which is super easy to make at home and perfect during pumpkin season but it is also available canned which is convenient and available year round. Although these recipes are great with actual pie pumpkins you can also make them with other sweet pumpkins and winter squash like butternut squash, which is also easy to roast and puree.

    These all look so good but . . . . My hubby is not allowed to eat pumpkin or any squash. It has too much potassium and is not good for his kidneys. I don't want to tempt him and I don't need the calories but I love reading them.
