I bet there's a pumpkin bread recipe in there somewhere. I've got lots of pumpkin meat in the freezer, and I hope to try most, if not all, of those recipes! CeeCee - I love the pumpkin seeds too. In the past that was all I ever ate from the pumpkin. And I can totally see why you'd call it pumpkin guts! Nicole - you are too funny. The meat is the ..... well... the meat of the pumpkin. The orange stuff you make pies and such out of. And the only punkin around here is Bernie!

I've never heard of that. I'll be at Thanksgiving this year asking "Is this a vegetarian pumpkin pie?" Of course then someone in my family will correct me and say 'It ain't pumpkin, it's punkin!" Ahhhh the countdown is on. Wait…what on earth is pumpkin MEAT??? I’ve never heard of that.

Quite the haul for just 3 pumpkins! It's funny, you call it pumpkin goo and we call it pumpkin guts. It has a funny odor and it's slimy, so it became 'guts'. Pumpkin seeds are the main reason we buy jack-o-lantern pumpkins. I buy the sugar pie pumpkins to make pie. Woo Hoo! Quite the haul for just 3 pumpkins!

Fresh out of the oven with butter it is so good. Add a little more pumpkin than the recipe calls for and you get a pudding in the middle cake. Again, oh so good. Find a recipe for pumpkin bread.

But I gotta tell ya, I think I might could eat some pumpkin potato soup with bacon. I mean, it's got bacon, right? What's not good with bacon!!! SVB - I had never baked a pumpkin either. Never thought I'd want to. But I gotta tell ya, fresh baked pumpkin seems to be a little tastier than what I've eaten before. And it's very much like baking a squash. Only bigger. And oranger. Roasted pumpkin seeds is one of my favorites. I've made those for many years and I really love them. It feels good to eat more than just the seeds now! Cotton Lady - if you use pre-cooked chicken/turkey/ground meat in your dog food recipe, just skip the part about pressure cooking. I use 5/6 cups cooked meat. 3 cups brown rice, and a bag of mixed veggies. Add 7 1/2 cups water, bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer for 50 minutes. My dogs especially love it if I use drippings/broth for all or part of the water. Let me know what yours think of it! Frugalmom - No, I didn't have whipped cream on the pumpkin pie. Should I have? It was really good though! I'm not sure I would say it's my favorite dessert, but I was pretty tickled I could actually eat it and enjoyed it. Oz Girl - Woo hoo! You canned! Welcome to the addiction...... I think you are really gonna LOVE canning. Just the satisfaction of knowing YOU put up your own food is wonderful. And then the fact that you can enjoy the taste of a season for many, many months..... well.... I think you're going to like this. Congrats!

I can see you were definitely in the "waste not" mood. I made some strawberry jam on Saturday, which actually turned out pretty darned good for my first attempt at canning anything! :) Encourages me to try more next season.

Ich in der Regel gar nicht wie der Geschmack von Kürbis. Aber vielleicht meinen Geschmack ändern sich, als ich älter werden. Ich hoffe, dass Sie und Uli gut geht. Bist du in Pfalzfeld für ein paar Tage? Ich hoffe, Sie entspannt und glücklich wieder. Ich schicke Dir viel Liebe.

You have been a busy lady. I will have to check your dog food recipe so I can use our leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. Glad you like pumpkin pie-I do, too. I do have a recipe for a bisquick pumpkin pie that makes its own crust-easy, peasy. I will email it to you soon. I don't have pumpkin in my freezer yet this year, but lots of zucchini. Take care.
