Pumpkin Power

10/01/14 | Delicious Eats, Pinterest, Pumpkin, Recipe Ideas

It is October and that means pumpkin overload! Pumpkin patches, pumpkin seeds and pumpkin pies. I have the fondest memories of going upstate every October to go apply picking and a trip was never complete without a visit to a farmer’s store across the road that made the best pumpkin cheesecake I have ever tasted.   While upstate New York is not in the cards in the next few weeks I can still get my pumpkin fix other places. 

 As the weather turns colder which means bundling up, I am so excited how many pumpkin’ flavored foods and drinks I have to choose from this season –  I love how this is the time of year to celebrate this big, sweet and juicy garden vegetable. Here are a few of my favorites:

Besides the taste I also really like the color – I can’t pull it off, but I can admire from a distance.  And, as an added bonus, it is a super power antioxidant and it is packed with Vitamin C and the seeds have tons of protein, iron, and Vitamin E . Lastly, how cool are Jack-O-Laterns?

    I’m on board with pumpkin everything. Although really, pumpkin itself is bland and flavorless. It’s the spice combination that everyone loves so much. Good old fashioned pumpkin pie always does it for me.
