'Tis the season to make all things pumpkin.
At my family's request, over the weekend I made a loaf of pumpkin bread. I used the recipe on an old Libby's canned pumpkin label, halving the recipe (to make 1 loaf instead of two), reducing the sugar by a couple of tablespoons and subbing part (3/8 cup) of the all-purpose flour called for with a bit of whole wheat. That last bit meant I could maybe call this a "whole grain." Okay, so not exactly a whole grain food, but better than all white flour.
Pumpkin bread is a family favorite here. We enjoyed it as snacks, breakfast, and dessert.
But we also really enjoyed the pumpkin pudding from a week ago. When there was one cup remaining, my family members had to play a game of rock, paper, scissors to see who would get it.
A favorite holiday dessert in my household is this pumpkin cake roll (recipe in this link). I'm thinking this cake roll may find its way onto our Thanksgiving or Christmas menu. It's easier than it looks and always elicits compliments on its appearance.

Other pumpkin dishes I've made this fall include oven-roasted pumpkin cubes as a side dish and curried peanut-pumpkin soup.

I still have a bunch of garden-grown pumpkins left to work with. Looking for suggestions and favorite recipes.
So how about you? What are your favorite ways to use pumpkin?
