I was sooo tempted to use color inks, I thought I'd do something more traditional for inktober. Did you know you can feed cooked pumpkin to cats and dogs? Just mix it in with their wet food (but make sure no seeds or skin.)

A five step recipe that will get you in the spirit of fall and all of its fun friends and festivities! I am a current sophomore at the Cleveland Institute of Art and this is my first recipe submission, I hope you enjoy!

A delicious Creamy and herb filled pumpkin soup. This recipe was given to me from my cousin. Now We make it every year for Halloween and then again for thanksgiving.

A bit of pumpkin puree with your espresso, milk of choice and warm spices makes this PSL extra special! Option to add a pinch of black pepper for extra spice.

Something hot and tasty, great for autumn dinner or supper!

This is one of my favourite go to vegetarian dinners. Roasted Cauliflower, Butter beans and Paneer.
I have adapted the original recipe a little bit. But the two key ingredients are always Tikka Masala Paste and Coconut Cream/Milk.
The rest of the ingredients are Pumpkin, Carrots, Sweet Potato, Spinach, Lemon and Naan Bread.

A healthy choice for a yummy cake...mind, your cat will love that too, so keep an eye on it!

This is an adapted recipe from a Chilean dish: “Porotos Granados”.
Delicious meal, ideal for summer days.

A quick and easy soup to warm our heart. My mama always make sweet beans soup since we were still kids. This is her recipe after adding more and more ingredients throughout the years. I asked her why adding so much in one pot, she says "add whatever beans you feel like eating and it will be yummy"

Three different takes on pumpkin desserts for Thanksgiving or any time.

Fave Memory

My grandmother was born in Rivarolo Mantovano, a small village in the countryside near Mantua. When I was a kid, we used to go there (from Milan) to pick up pumpkins, in order to find the most delicious for our homemade tortelli.

Pumpkin-filled tortelli are a very ancient recipe from northern Italy, and a typical dinner for Christmas Eve in my family. My grandfather makes egg pasta on Christmas Eve morning or the day before. The filling, a mixture of pumpkin, amaretti biscuits, parmigiano cheese, mostarda, and nutmeg, is rather sweet than savory. We have them with butter and sage, but my father usually grills them in the oven with parmigiano on top, for some extra-flavour.

Fave Memory: The first year I started to love Thanksgiving! The setting: my cousin's house (first year hosting); the dinner: a simple turkey, mash, and sweet potato; the dessert: ALL the pie options, a cake, cookies and ice cream. Now THAT is a Thanksgiving made for a sweet tooth (me)!

Fave Memory!

It was Thanksgiving at the farm. Since I fancy myself to be a baker, I volunteered to make the pumpkin pie. The meal proceeded nicely, and then came desert and the awful realization that I forgot to add the sugar to the pie filling! Oh, well, the chickens deserved a nice Thanksgiving, too, right? So we gave the pie to the chickens. Despite the fact that they frequently eat raw squash, every single one politely declined their Thanksgiving treat!
