Pumpkin Spiced Latte

"A fall favourite, pumpkin spiced latte, that is easy to make at home and actually has pumpkin in it!" - Kevin

Turkey-Pumpkin Meatloaf

"I was hungry for meatloaf and thought I had all of the ingredients on hand to make my old standby from Quaker Oats cookbook (which I make with turkey instead of beef). Lo and behold what I thought was tomato sauce lurking in the back of the pantry turned out to be something else. I didn't want to go out to the store and I dislike catsup in my meatloaf. I had a partial can of cooked pumpkin leftover from another recipe, so I decided to give it a try. Turned out very moist." - Mikekey

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars

"These pumpkin cream cheese bars are just right for this Fall season. They are moist, lightly spiced, and have just the right amount of sweetness. No need for frosting ... just cool, cut and serve!" - Terrie

Pumpkin Muffins filled With Spiced Marshmallow Cream

This is such an easy recipe because you start off with spice cake mix. You can mix and match whatever flavors you want to add in. We love carrot cake, so raisins, nuts and coconut are a must! Once you fill them with the spiced marshmallow filling, they become show stoppers." - Didi

Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cookies

"These were handed down from my grandmother to my mother and then, to me. I make them every Autumn and while my kids would prefer something from the candy jar, these remain a yummy cookie for the grown-ups." - Julie

Pumpkin Pie With Cinnamon-Pecan Topping

"This is a combination of two recipes. My husband liked the idea of the cinnamon-pecan topping, and I, not being a great pumpkin pie lover, found a unique recipe for pumpkin pie. So I made that and topped it with the topping. I loved the pumpkin pie! (Everyone else liked it, too, but they already liked pumpkin pie!) My daughter had a second piece just for the topping!" - Gail

Maple Chicken Pumpkin Bites (appetizers)

"These little gems will be gone the moment they take the first bite!! They are literally "a taste of Fall" in your mouth!! You have crunchy, buttery, maple, sweet, savory and spicy all in one!" - Didi

Pumpkin Pie Dessert

"My mom would kill me if she knew I was posting this, she gave it to me and said "take it to your grave" but it's too good not to share with my fellow pumpkin lovers!" - Barbery

Pumpkin Whole Wheat Fluffy Biscuit

"I was thinking about an individual pumpkin bread, something easy-to-serve, so decided to try this change to my favorite biscuit recipe. I'd made pumpkin muffins but still wanted something a little easier to handle for my friends who have difficulty manipulating things with their hands. It worked! Very moist and lightly sweet, unless you add a topping or sweet extra!" - Sandi

Pumpkin Spice Cake Balls

"I tried an easy pumpkin spice cake recipe and added cream cheese frosting to create a different kind of cake ball." - Leah

Thea's Cranberry Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin Bundt With Cheesecake Pecan Filling

"The girls at work were dying for me to make a cake so I whipped this bundt cake up for them. I took half the cake to work and It got rave reviews and there was not a crumb left to it once they finished!" - Linda

Pumpkin Spice Crumb Cake

"This crumb cake is what happens when pumpkin pie and spice cake get married. The cinnamon in the crumb topping along with the spice cake crust makes the deliciously aromatic. A creamy pumpkin filling adds a smooth texture to the cake." - The Kitchen Crew

"This is the most amazingly moist pumpkin bread. It's great with just the traditional walnuts. It's surprisingly good with dates as well." - Sheila

Cindy's Pumpkin Cake

"This recipe makes a thick pumpkin cake; a slice could almost be considered a bar. They have a mild pumpkin flavor with the perfect ratio of frosting. Creamy and smooth, the frosting is lick the spatula clean good. It has a hint of tanginess and butter flavor that complements the pumpkin cake." - Mary Louise

Pumpkin Pudding Mousse

"This is a family favorite made all the better because it's low-fat and healthy! Pumpkin is an excellent source of fiber and vitamins. I have also used vanilla or pumpkin spice instant pudding with equally yummy results. I like to top mine with a scattering of candied walnuts and fat-free whipped topping. Makes a lovely presentation in a martini or stemless wine glass!" - Tess

Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

"Who doesn't love pumpkin??? I use it all year long. It's one of my favorite ingredients and this is one recipe that is a keeper. Such a moist, flavorful cookie, with a touch of chocolate. Absolutely delicious!" - Sheila

Robin's Moist And Yummy Pumpkin Cupcakes

"My daughter is allergic to chocolate so I make these every year for her birthday at school. Every year there is not one cupcake left. I am always asked for this recipe. It is not only simple but so moist you will have lots of people asking you to bring these the next time you are asked to bring the dessert." - Robin

Glazed Pumpkin Bars

"These pumpkin bars should have a warning label because we couldn't stop eating them! They are rich, moist and melt in your mouth. The cake part has just enough pumpkin spice without being overpowering. The glaze is the real star. It's sweet and forms a sugary crust when placed under the broiler." - The Kitchen Crew

Crustless Pumpkin Pie

"Gluten-free, sugar-free, low-carb, and the best pumpkin pie you'll ever eat! You won't even miss the crust." - Myra

Pumpkin Risotto

"I love Italian cuisine, and one of my favorite dishes is risotto. A good risotto can be made with Arborio rice and basically prepared in the same way. Rice coated in butter and olive oil, then simmering stock is added one ladleful at a time. What I love about making risotto is it can be flavored with an endless variety of ingredients. If you love making risotto, you’ll love my Pumpkin Risotto; it’s creamy and full of pumpkin flavor." - Carol

Spiced Pumpkin Pancakes

"What a nice change of pace from your standard pancakes! These had a nice pumpkin flavor without it being too overwhelming." - The Kitchen Crew

Crock Pot Pumpkin and Turkey Chili

"This chili had the whole house smelling wonderful all day. I couldn't wait for it to be done to see how it turned out. It was well worth the wait. This is not a spicy chili. The combination of pumpkin, fire-roasted tomatoes, and spices give it a sweet yet savory flavor." - Grace
