Pumpkin Risotto with Garlic and Sage- Risotto is comfort food, pure and simple, but it can be loaded with high-fat ingredients.

Here’s a good idea for using up your pumpkin puree all year long:  Baked Pumpkin Parmesan Chicken. This easy dinner recipe is something your whole family will enjoy.  I improved the nutrition on classic baked Parmesan Chicken by substituting a large component of the fat with 100% Pure Pumpkin. Pumpkin is considered a superfood!  It’s a good source of fiber and an excellent source of vitamin A and the antioxidant beta-carotine.

In this recipe, pumpkin is blended with Parmesan, spices and a tiny bit of mayonnaise to create a delicious topping for baked chicken.  You can store your leftover pumpkin in a re-sealable container in the fridge for up to one week (to use in other recipes).  Or you can store it in a freezer-safe container for up to three months in your freezer.

Pumpkins aren't just for carving or baking into a sweet pie. Celebrate the season with a pasta dish that's comforting, creamy, and full of flavorful pumpkin. And pumpkin is packed with healthy carotenoids and high in protein and vitamin A.

Instead of covering up the pumpkin, enhance the flavor with a dash of Italian seasoning and keep the calories low by using milk instead of cream in this tasty pasta bake. Invite your tot into the kitchen to help mix, stir, and sprinkle, making this dish even more special. Head over to PopSugar for this great fall recipe.

Although this is a curry recipe, this is not the kind of curry the whole family will turn away from. Instead you will find that even the kids will enjoy this one.

It’s a very mild curry made from scratch with dried herbs and spices, things like turmeric, which is an anti-inflammatory and immune boosting spice that is so good for our health. And with the addition of pumpkin and coconut cream, it gives this curry a sweet flavour that everyone will enjoy.

This healthy recipe is simple to make and produces a generous batch to feed the whole family. Head over to Mouth of Mums for this great recipe.

I love pumpkin everything. pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin lattes…pumpkin carving. But i’ve kind of burnt myself out on the whole pumpkin theme this year. But this pizza is like a whole new element of pumpkin. Not the sweet flavor you find in baked goods, but savory.

So this goes out to all you crazy people without a sweet tooth who may feel you miss out on the pumpkin train every year. Savory pumpkin pizza, just for you. Head over to Love Lola for this delicious recipe.

Incredible black bean chicken enchiladas with a slightly sweet pumpkin sour cream sauce. Irresistible!

It was time to make that lovely and creamy pumpkin sauce you’re probably wondering about. I placed pumpkin, sour cream, a bit of tomato sauce, garlic, chili powder, then salt and pepper into my food processor (you could also use a blender). These combine my two favorite things: pumpkin and mexican food. I can’t even begin explain how delicious and comforting these enchiladas are. They’re both sweet and savory and completely worth the time it takes to put them together.

Fall is here and pumpkins are everywhere! A cold front has blown into North Texas and I could not be happier. What better than to bring the pumpkin to the dinner table!?

You know I love sharing easy recipes with you and this is one I made this past week. It isCrockpot Pumpkin Butter Chicken and I used Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Butter that is out at stores right now!  This was so savory and so delicious!  I served it with buttered brussel sprouts and cinnamon sweet potatoes.  You will be amazed at how simple this is to make and your family will love it!

This sauce is creamy and satisfying. We’ve swapped out the traditional peanut butter for cashew butter. I love the flavor of cashew butter and know many of you are peanut free for allergies or dietary reasons, but the recipe also works well with sunflower seed butter, or traditional peanut butter. Whatever you prefer!

We love this because it’s delicious and flavorful, but you don’t have to worry about your house smelling like curry for a week. Creamy, delicious, and filling enough on its own, you don’t need to serve it with anything. Head over to One Lovely Life for this recipe.

There's no better way to celebrate the bounty of the season than to serve this pumpkin stuffed with all of the comforts of fall. This one is stuffed with a mixture of bread, cheese, sausage, cream, and herbs. The best part about this recipe is that it simply serves as a guideline which is open to creative interpretation, so stuff yours with whatever it is that you find most comforting.

This recipe simply serves as a guideline for ratios of pumpkin to fillings, so use whatever types of things that you like the most.  I used a thick, hearty peasant loaf and mixed it with cooked Italian sausage, chunks of apple smoked cheddar, herbs, and cream. In the past, I've added chopped kale, gruyere, and shredded turkey breast. The possibilities are really endless.

Fall is by far my favorite Season. There’s several things I like about Fall, but the biggest charm for me is that all vegetables that remind me of a stormy day in Belgium are in season: parsnips, pumpkins, rutabagas, turnips… And, you get to spice everything warmly because ‘t is the season.

Decades ago, when my brother still lived in Amsterdam and mom & I would drive up for a weekend visit, he would frequently invite us for dinner at a restaurant called ‘The Louisiana Kitchen’, off of the Ceintuurbaan in the heart of the city. At the time, I was already thinking about relocating to the USA and eventually, my brother bought me the Cajun bistro’s cookbook as a parting gift. I’ve since adapted the recipe to my own preference, but the base recipe comes out of the book.

Creamy Pumpkin Pasta- This creamy pumpkin pasta is one of my favorite fall dishes and my entire family loves it.

The kids think it looks like macaroni and cheese so it doesn’t take much coaxing to get them to try a bite. My husband loves the turkey sausage and the meaty flavor of this dish. Me? I just love the creamy pumpkin taste in my mouth! Head over to Mom Advice for this delicious pumpkin pasta recipe!
