Ingredient Spotlight has a new button!  I decided it was time to give this party its own graphic.  My oldest daughter created it for us.  I think she did a great job!

I’m so excited about this week’s Ingredient.  It’s pumpkin time!

How can you not love a vegetable that is so beautiful and signals the arrival of autumn?  Pumpkin is extremely versatile.  You can carve it, decoupage it, paint it, combine it with flowers (thanks, Pinterest for showing me those things).

You can bake it, mash it, roast the seeds.  And most wonderful of all – Pumpkin is a veggie that often masquerades as dessert!

That’s my kind of food!

Here are some of my most-loved pumpkin recipes: 

• Apples and Cranberries Baked in a Pumpkin
• Pumpkin Chip Cookies
• Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
• Spicy Pumpkin Pie

I can’t wait to see all of your fantastic pumpkin recipes!

Please feel free to link up as many of your pumpkin recipes as you like.  I only ask that you link back to this site.  You can use the new Ingredient Spotlight button, if you like.

Don’t forget to visit the other links too!  I know you’ll find some new recipes to try.
