November 7 by Cassie 3 Comments

I am always looking for new, unique, and creative ways to use pumpkin for pumpkin recipes. It is one of my favorite food categories, as you can see by this post alone! 

We are in the heart of pumpkin season. Pumpkin Spice everything is the hottest food around. We all love our common and favorite ways to enjoy those pumpkin spices from the classic pumpkin pie to the pumpkin spice latte’. 

Well, we want to share a twist on pumpkin spice season because it is one of our favorite seasons. Plus, we can get a ton of fresh pumpkins for cheap at a local pumpkin patch. So we are always coming up with new ways to eat pumpkin. 

Over the past few years, we have shared some amazing pumpkin treats and eats. Most of them are unique and not found anywhere else at least at the time we posted originally. There have been others that have come up with some amazing pumpkin recipes that are similar, but we don’t end the inspiration at this post, but rather have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to all things pumpkin so that you can explore even more ideas beyond this taste-bud pleasing, delicious list! 

The other thing that we combine in our unique pumpkin recipes is the idea behind making frugal recipes. We don’t pride ourselves on big, expensive, fancy ingredients. We stick with the basics as much as possible. 

We even show you how to use all parts of the pumpkin and even make your own fresh pumpkin puree’ in a jiffy. 

So enjoy the list of delicious pumpkin eats below and pick your favorites to try this year!
