Homemade Pumpkin Puree
"Homemade Pumpkin Puree is an easy way to use up all your Halloween pumpkins and it tastes so much better than canned pumpkin. Pumpkin Puree may seem like a tedious or boring thing to cook since we’re in full swing of holiday baking and cooking, but it’s one of my favorite things to do with my family after Halloween. Since the post about How to Cook Spaghetti Squash I’ve gotten a lot of emails from you guys about PUMPKIN."

If you're looking for a savory dish to impress your friends or family, we suggest making a creamy pumpkin pasta sauce.
