Pumpkin all the things!!

Pumpkin pudding:
Mix equal parts pumpkin (I used canned) with vanilla pudding cup (whatever variety suits your plan) and a good sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Mix well, eat. Pretty tasty and filling.

I mix canned pumpkin with a touch of honey and pumpkin pie spices - spread on english muffins (quickie pumpkin butter basically)

I use butternut squash in little hunks in chili recipes too - is that close enough? Adds a layer of flavor that's hard to pick out but tasty.

Looking forward to this! I'm all set for some fall eating - we just had our first cold front and it's COOL finally!

Curried pumpkin soup! I'll share the recipe once I find it.

Oh you are my pumpkin hero! I am going to try this tonight. Also, you can buy pumpkin pie filling, already with the spice in it - I love that for a treat all on it's own - who needs the pastry!

Being from the UK, where pumpkin is only scraped out and scrapped to make a halloween lantern, I have never eaten pumpkin, pie or otherwise!!! Might have to keep the 'brains' of my Pumpkin Head this year??!!

I died a little just now. A little piece of me just died. I almost feel like flying to the UK and cooking you a southern style pumpkin pie.

You would be most welcome. I'll lay the table, see you in about 10 hours?? :laugh:

It must sound odd to you guys that someone could never have eaten pumpkin.....hmmm, idea for a thread here....

Sweet, Just let me blow this months rent on a plane ticket and here I come! ;p
Well I don't know if I can speak for all southerners here in the US, but most of the people I know serve all sorts of pumpkin baked goods all during fall. It's almost like...not the holiday season without pumpkin? Haha.

wow that should be a crime not to eat pumpkin any thing. theres no canned pumpkin at the store? i'm kinda shocked thats all

In Australia we eat loads of fresh pumpkin - would never dream of eating it out of a can. Don't think we even have it in a can. Anyway we bake it in the oven with a roast - yum - I leave the skin on, and we make a lot of pumpkin soup. My fav is pumpkin soup with red lentils topped with natural yoghurt.
