I have to admit I’m not a fan of pumpkin, not usually. Now, before you pumpkin lovers start to throw gourds at me just hear me out.

My husband took me out for lunch on my birthday 5 years ago, the soup that was included with our meal was a Pumpkin Soup - I remember taking one look at the menu and thinking “Yuck!”. I wasn’t even willing to give it a try…but than I did and I was not disappointed.

Ever since, I’ve slowly started to make an effort in appreciating the big orange vegetable - pumpkin soup, pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin cookies…I’m not sure what will be next but I’ve rounded up some pumpkin recipes that are sure to please my taste buds when I do,
