Looks so delicious!!
Yum! What a delicious selection of fall dinner recipes! The hardest part is picking which to make first!
The pumpkin chili looks delicious!
Doesn’t it, though? I can’t wait till the first cool night to try it. Kind of hard to cook chili right now, here in Florida with heat indexes still in the triple digits. It won’t be long though. It usually starts cooling off in October, and we get 50 degree temps and everyone is “freezing” here. LOL.
These all look so tasty! I was actually making my grocery list today and saw a pumpkin pop up and thought to myself I’ve literally never made pumpkin anything. Closest is a pumpkin spiced latte from Starbucks and that’s totally not the same.
I certainly need to try the Pumpkim Spiced Latte…. I’ve never tried it. I just now started going to Starbucks since they finally built one in our small, rural town. (Thanks to the interstate passing through!)
These recipes look fantastic! 🙂
Thanks, Laurie. Glad you like them! ❤️
These all look so good! Like the gnocchi recipe, I make a pasta with butternut squash and sage brown butter and it’s so, so good. I can’t wait to try some of these new recipes!
Lots of yummy looking food, may have to try a recipe or two. I’ve never tried pumpkin except for roasting the seeds. Thanks so much for linking up at the #UnlimitedLinkParty 130. Pinned.
Wow–this is an impressive list. 🙂 I had no idea pumpkin could be used so many savory ways. The pumpkin potato soup especially caught my eye. Pinned to try later! Thanks for sharing this post at the Will Blog for Comments #7 linkup. Hope to see you again next week, too.
