13 Ways to Get Your Pumpkin Fix

forget the pieIt’s PSL season and, by now you know that’s where the country goes stark-raving pumpkin-spice mad.

…And I’m right there with them.  I just can’t help myself.

And the good news is: it’s good for you! Alright…. maybe not the 380 calorie Pumpkin Spice Latte but real, actual pumpkin is good for you.

I have a hard time really indulging in pumpkin when it’s 80 degrees out… It just doesn’t feel right. But we’ve dropped into the 70’s a couple times already and October is here!   So, I made a made dash for the pumpkin aisle at Kroger and eagerly grabbed as many cans of pureed pumpkin as my pumpkin-hungry hands could hold.

Now that I have approximately 8 billion cans of pumpkin, I’ve pinterested and googled some simple as pie (but not pie) pumpkin recipes to get my pumpkin fill(ing).

Bonus: These are meat-free and often gluten-free and while I’m not gluten-free (anymore) I still enjoy a good meal without all the wheat and meat.

Fuel my obsession!  What’s your favorite pumpkin recipe?
