20 Amazing Pumpkin Recipes You’ll Want to Make This Fall
‘Tis the Season!
Look, I’m not totally pumpkin spice crazy but I do love my fair share of pumpkin items in the fall. Pumpkin can go from amazingly sweet to deliciously savory with almost no effort. It’s easily one of the most versatile foods I can think of.
Why You Should Love It.
Firstly, pumpkin has a ton of fiber.
Secondly, it has important nutrients like vitamins A, C, and potassium.
In addition, it helps enhance your mood AND helps promote sleep.
Above all, it’s pretty darn delicious.
Still, you’ll be hard-pressed to find me eating pumpkin carbonara. It’s someone’s cup of tea… just not mine. It seems like it’s been incorporated into everything imaginable but always with an overly potent flavor and a crazy orange tint.
So let’s get right into the recipes you’ll want to try this fall.
