Believe it or not, October aka pumpkin season is not about spiced lattes alone. Or, in fact, pumpkin “spice” at all, but rather actual pumpkins. I know. Stay calm, let it sink in. There’s plenty of good reasons for the whole world to be stoked for pumpkin season. Pumpkins usually represent a successful harvest and a winter of health and full plates to come. They’re also extremely versatile and can be made to compliment many of the sweet, savory or spicy flavors from foreign lands. Here are some pumpkin recipes that you might want to try this fall, you know, along with your pumpkin spice latte.
