Not Just For Carving: 8 Pumpkin Recipes
Don't even try and tell me that you're sick of pumpkins (and by virtue, all pumpkin-related dishes and recipes) by now. Come on guys, it's barely mid-October. We haven't even hit Halloween yet. Sure, if you're a frequent peruser of food web sites, you're probably tilting towards pumpkin sensory overload. But this is what eating in season is all about, is it not?
You OD on corn and zucchini all summer and ramps all spring, and in October, it's time to eat some pumpkin — so get to it. (Because if you don't, you're going to be sorry when they eventually do disappear from the farmers market once again.) Roast it, toast it, steam it, or mash it, just whatever you do, make sure to eat it.
