I do not like pumpkin pie. There I said it out loud. Does that make me un-American? No wait, that is apple pie. I don’t like that either. The fact is I don’t really care for pie. Wait! Don’t stop reading yet!
Here are 10 tasty spicy pumpkin dishes besides pie.
Pumpkin Spiced Granola is a yummy treat including pumpkin seeds and warm pumpkin spices with a crunchy texture. Warm up the kids lunches with the healthy treat. Alice offers other great gluten-free recipes for fall lunches.
Next how about pumpkin fry bread? A twist on the Native fry bread, this recipe gives a very plain dough some substance.
For the family, create these wonderful chocolate chip pumpkin cookies–warm and loving on a cold fall afternoon after school,
Or what about a Sunday Morning Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Cardamom. Cardamon is not a spice we use often; BUT warm and flavorful, it stirs the blood with its heat.
Need quick, one serving treat just for you in the late afternoon, try a Pumpkin Spiced Latte Mug Cake–can even be made at work. It only takes a microwave–easy to substitute gluten free flour, too!
Want something savory with pumpkin– how about Kale Pumpkin Fettuccine Alfredo with Mushrooms? Oh be still my heart–the colors! the flavors! the pasta!
While we are being Italian, lets not forget Pumpkin Gnocchi with a creamy, spicy, Nutmeg Pumpkin Sauce. Double the pumpkin, double the vitamin A–serve with a big salad and hard bread.
Want pumpkin in the crock pot–you bet, a slow cooked Pumpkin Chili? Use the pumpkin like a red sauce and kick in a little cinnamon to bring out a unique sweet chili flavor (my idea to add the cinnamon, do it to taste).
As someone who eats pie and loves it I have to say, even though you don’t like pie, 6you make some yummy ones.
Only for you Jess! Thanks for checking it out. Look out for more pumpkin in the coming months!
