It’s fall and that means pumpkins! Pumpkin patches, pumpkin festivals, and pumpkins at the nursery and grocery store. 
We all know pumpkins are great for carving, but with all of the choices available, which is the best choice for creating all those great recipes that are pumpkin inspired? If you want to make a recipe using pumpkin, don’t reach for the pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling is usually a mixture of squashes such as Hubbard, or Boston Marrow.
For cooking, the best pumpkins to look for are pumpkins with these great names: Baby Bear, Cinderella, Fairytale, and Sugar Pie.
Pumpkin Spice is a staple during the holidays, so I asked a fellow blogger, Elaina Newton of The Rising Spoon if I might share her personal recipe for a great blend.

Less expensive and much fresher than the spice you buy in the store, this blend is great for whipping up a pumpkin latte. Perfect for those cool fall nights.

What could be more comforting on Thanksgiving morning than waking up to warm, pumpkin and apple muffins? You have to try this recipe, made from fresh pumpkin puree.

I hope this post has your mouth watering, and your mixing spoon ready to whip up some great pumpkin recipes.
Thank you to Elaina for graciously allowing me to share these recipes with you.
