I freaking LOVE October. Pumpkins, costumes, cider, the smell of fallen leaves, MY BIRTHDAY, and lots and lots of candy… whats not to love?
In celebration of October and all things pumpkin, Ive put together this little collection of pumpkin recipes to make your life just a little bit easier. I highly suggest you try each and every one of them. After all, you cant ever have too much pumpkin, right? Whats the worst that could happen? You turn into a big ol jack-o-lantern, Violet Beauregarde style? Admit it, that would be pretty cool.
MORE PUMPKINS!
Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal
All of the deliciousness of pumpkin pie baked into a healthy breakfast oatmeal. This is the #1 reader favorite pumpkin recipe… Im not going to argue with that.
Spicy Coconut & Pumpkin Soup
This is one of my favorites and I regret that it doesnt get more attention. Its simple, fast, and incredibly delicious.
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
Seriously SO GOOD. Luckily, October is usually still pretty warm in Louisiana, so I can enjoy this frosty treat for a couple months to come… It also makes a rather refreshing post-work out treat!
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Spread
Pumpkin and cream cheese were made for each other. If youre craving pumpkin flavored cheese cake, this is a good substitution. You can put it on bagels, crackers, cookies, or just a spoon. Its gooood.
Easy Pumpkin Soup
If youre not into the coconut-spiciness of the other pumpkin soup, this is a super easy, basic pumpkin soup recipe. And if youre feeling creative, this soup is an excellent blank canvas for all sorts of delicious add-ins! (black beans, cauliflower, hot sauce, chipotle, whatever)
…And if you missed these two gems couple weeks ago:
Pumpkin Yogurt Parfaits
Nuff said.
Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice
If you cant find pre-mixed pumpkin pie spice blend at your local grocery, its SUPER easy to mix up at home.
