15 Must-Try Pumpkin Inspired Dishes
Because you can never have too much pumpkin.
Are you sick of pumpkin spiced everything yet? No? Well we aren’t either. We’re definitely a part of the pumpkin spiced movement, and we aren’t afraid to shout it from the rooftops…or make it known multiple times a day on every social media account we have – sorry, not sorry. We have our reasons to back up this infatuation though. Pumpkin is too tasty of a flavor to not obsess over, and the fact that coffee shops all over force us to wait all year long to indulge in its goodness makes the obsession that much stronger. Well, maybe the obsession can’t get any stronger than it already is, but you know what we mean here. We want to take that pumpkin obsession one step further though – we’re expanding from just pumpkin spiced lattes to include pumpkin in everything we eat with no meal getting left behind. Are you giddy with happiness? Yup, us too. We’ll keep eating pumpkin spiced treats until we turn into a pumpkin ourselves, and if you’re on board with that then these are some recipes you don’t want to pass up. For all your pumpkin needs, wishes, and desires, here are 15 Must-Try Pumpkin Inspired Dishes.
BREAKFAST
We know the perfect way to start your morning off on a great (and tasty) foot – chow down on some pumpkin! You may already be sipping your pumpkin each morning if you’re stopping off at your local coffee shop for pumpkin spiced lattes, but incorporating it into your food is just as tasty! Whether it’s chilly out and you’d like something warm like oatmeal, or you love the cold and would rather a chilled smoothie, we’re here to show you the yummiest pumpkin filled breakfast recipes.
ENTREES
Don’t let the tastiness of pumpkin spice come and go in the hectic morning – make its tastiness last all day! When we hear pumpkin we primarily think of two things – dessert and pumpkin spiced lattes. Pumpkin can actually be enjoyed in a number of different recipes though, and many of those recipes make for the perfect lunch and dinner entrees. Think: cheddar and pumpkin mac and cheese?
