It’s no surprise that I love pumpkins – after all, I named my blog after them! I love carving them for Halloween, and I have lots of pumpkin ornaments and decor at home. I also love cooking with them and have shared lots of recipes using pumpkin – sweet, savoury, and drinks – on my blog over the years.

Many people don’t realise how many ways you can use a pumpkin! Pumpkin has a mild flavor and that makes it a very versatile ingredient to use in both savory and sweet recipes.

And you can easily replace pumpkin for other seasonal squash too – I like using butternut squash the whole year-round, and there are a variety of other squashes that you should look out for at the farmer’s market or in the supermarket.

Before I get into the recipes, here is some handy information for you.

Pumpkin recipes are not the only ones I have on my blog, there are 500+ Recipes here for you to enjoy! Please feel free to check them out too.
