Top 5 Ways To Eat A Pumpkin

Pumpkins

Although there is a timeless tradition of pumpkin carving, I’ve learned that there are other ways to enjoy this odd, orange fruit that don’t involve candles or scary faces.

Now I’m not saying you shouldn’t carve your pumpkin to keep all those scary monsters out of your house. By all means, keep doing that. But there are so many ways to eat a pumpkin and I’m going to tell you about five of my favorites.

Pumpkin Soup

#5 Pumpkin Soup. This tasty creamy soup is perfect for the cooler fall weather.

Pasta with Pumpkin Sauce and Pistachios

#4 Pumpkin Pasta Sauce. Tired of tomato or cream sauce? Purée some pumpkin and there you go – a whole new take on pasta sauce.

Pumpkin Bar

#3 Pumpkin Bars. If you no longer find yourself craving the refreshing berries of summer, but instead prefer something a little denser now that the colder weather has hit, then try out a pumpkin bar. Your sweet tooth will thank you.

Pumpkin Seeds

#2 Pumpkin Seeds. While you carve your pumpkin, you may want to sift through the goopy insides and out pick those precious seeds. Toast them in the oven with spices for a salty snack.

Pumpkin Pie

#1 Pumpkin Pie. No surprise here. The pumpkin pie is a classic and if you don’t bake one this fall, you’re doing it wrong.
