Pumpkin recipes

Before this month is over, I have to turn these beautiful pumpkins, which I was using as decorations, into food. I’ve never cooked pumpkin dishes from scratch before. I always bought the canned pumpkin. It’s funny that the more I try and cook different things, the more I enjoy cooking. (Couldn’t stand cooking. It’s so boring)

Even when they turn out not so good, I’m enjoying trying now. (Failed pizza from scratch and pumpkin/sweet potato soup) And I’m obsessed with pumpkin chili right now. It’d be cool to make it completely from scratch.

I cooked pumpkins in slow cooker,turned out good
Then I just scooped out the soft pumpkin and processes in food processor until smooth.
I added half and half with pumpkin pie spice.
Then froze in containers.
I'll add eggs and bake into pies at Thanksgiving

@turnedtostone That’s what I’m going to try instead of the oven. 🙂 Always preferred them.
