Happy fall, everyone! I know that fall is a favorite season among lots of people, and with that season comes breaths of fresh air, pretty leaves, and long sleeves. Oh, and pumpkin! Pumpkin is undoubtedly the most favorite flavor of the season and is yummy in all sorts of dishes.

I think many people associate pumpkin with sweet treats like pies, cakes, and cookies (which is certainly not a bad thing), but pumpkins are also really delicious in savory recipes. They blend really well to make smooth soups and add a rich and subtly sweet dynamic to sauces. Plus, canned pumpkin is on sale in lots of stores right now, so your pumpkin recipes will be yummy and frugal.
