Pumpkin Update

With the previously mentioned $10 pumpkin, I made the following:

- Pumpkin and bacon soup

- Pumpkin cream cheese (somehow this wound up tasting like watermelon and I have no idea how that happened)

- Pumpkin bread (courtesy of Alton Brown - highly recommend this recipe!)

- Pumpkin biscuits (got a little distracted in the kitchen when I figured out I could clean the microwave by boiling water and vinegar and burned these a bit... Oops!)

- Pumpkin cream cheese dip (served with gingersnaps!)

- Roasted pumpkin seeds (eh, not too delicious)

- Pumpkin and Gruyere pasta bake

The last of which was my favorite.  I used this recipe I found on Pintrest, my obsession. I doubled it, substituted delicious Gruyere for the cheese sauce, and pumpkin for the butternut squash.  I have to say it was pretty awesome.  Stuart didn't even mind that I made it low-fat  =)
