Pumpkin Recipes You Need in Your Life.

A little tid-bit about my marriage: Somehow, I ended up marrying someone who doesn't like pumpkin. I know, I don't understand it either.

Wait, I take that back. He hates everything pumpkin flavored except pumpkin pie...the one pumpkin thing I cannot stand. It's cold and mushy and ew.

So every fall, I keep my pumpkin flavored things to a minimum. HA. Kidding. I'm not that good of a wife. But I do know that if I don't want Chris to be perpetually hungry until Thanksgiving, we need to have pumpkin things and something else.

Lately, he hasn't been home for dinner much. So for the past two weeks, I've pretty much been surviving off of baked pumpkin goods for every meal. Hello, fall, I love you.

Anyway, we all have Pinterest boards full of things we want to try, and it's such a bummer to waste a night on a recipe that just doesn't turn out good. I've learned that just because something has been pinned 10,000 times doesn't mean that 10,000 people have tried it--sometimes it just means it has a pretty picture.

So I wanted to share some pumpkin goodness that I have actually tried and can attest to its deliciousness. You're welcome.

P.S. If you're not following me on Pinterest, you really should. Now-December is my time to shine on there. 

P.S.S. These pictures are all from the credited blogs. If you think I'm patient enough to take a picture of something delicious before I dig in, you don't know me. 

Happy pumpkining!
