Pumpkin for Dinner? Savory Pumpkin Recipes for Autumn.

 

I personally want to sample every pumpkin recipe I find. Unfortunately most pumpkin recipes are for sweets so it really isn’t good for my waistline. It isn’t always easy to find savory pumpkin recipes but I have done the work for you. Today my goal was to provide a list of savory pumpkin recipes that won’t make us live in the gym this fall.
