Foodie Friday: The Best Sweet & Savory Pumpkin Recipes

( Via Williams Sonoma )

There is nothing more Fall than the image and aroma of pumpkin. They both just make you smile, and bring back childhood memories. It's time to think outside the pie plate and concentrate on everything pumpkin from soup to nuts. Give these recipes a try now, and get your Thanksgiving menu planned in advance.




HERE: 17 Scrumptious Recipes

Pumpkin Soup With Gruyère
I think this is a must make Thanksgiving dish. Any thoughts, family?
Bon Appetit

Pasta with Bacon Pumpkin and Fried Sage
Oh my goodness. Just those three ingredients make my mouth water! Best yet, this is a super easy recipe that can be made in 15 minutes.
Heather Christo

Pumpkin Spice Donut Cheesecake Trifle
This may be one of the most outrageously yummy dessert recipes I have ever seen. It's very easy to make, too. By the way the donuts are from Dunkin Donuts. Your crowd will roar!
Life Love And Sugar

Apple And Caramelized Onion Pizza With Pumpkin Seed Pangratto
How exotic, but ever so interesting, too. And those onions, they have been caramelized with Pumpkin Beer! Enough said.
Half Baked Harvest

Chocolate Pumpkin Gingerbread Martini
I don't even like Martini's but I know I would love this recipe!
The Blond Cook

Pumpkin Shrimp Curry
This dish will change your mind about pumpkin being bland. How pretty is this dish?
Bon Appetit

Mac & Cheese Stuffed Pumpkin
This looks like such a wonderful idea! The recipe features Italian Sausage and sage. Something unique to try. 
Cooking On The Side 

Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Pancakes
My favorite recipe of the edit. Pumpkin pancakes are really just the best. Add peanut butter and it becomes an over the top treat!
Peachy and Plenty

Cheesy Pumpkin Parmesan French Breads
Don't these look like the perfect bite? It's French Bread covered with oodles of gooey cheese, bacon, sage and pumpkin. This is the perfect Fall appetizer!
How Sweet Eats 

Roast Pumpkin, Chicken and Honey Mustard Salad
A beautiful salad that is full of Fall flavor. This looks like an easy and tasty weekday dinner.
Kitchen Nine

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Ricotta Gnocchi with Pancetta and Seared Radicchio
I have never made gnocchi, but this recipe looks super fun to make.
Bonjon Gourmet

Turtle Pumpkin Ice Cream Cake
What a celebration! Pumpkin ice cream is absolutely delicious, and I think I have to try this cake.
A Spicy Perspective

Brown Butter Pumpkin Galette
Add to the above caramelized onions, goat cheese and sage and you have one fabulous sweet and savory dish.
Coley Cooks

Pumpkin Bread Stuffing With Candied Bacon And Pecans
You know, I have made stuffing with Pumpkin Bread, mixed with other types of bread, and it is fabulous. I always loved the touch of sweetness added to the other savory ingredients. This recipe is worth investigating.
Bakers Royale 

Pumpkin Ravioli With Sage and Toasted Hazelnuts
These little pumpkin pillows have been filled with "a balsamic and Parmesan infused no-questions-asked Italian stuffing." Yummy!
Joanne Eats Well With Others

Pumpkin Pie On The Rocks
 This chic cocktail should become your signature drink for Fall! And how cute are those toasted mini marshmallows on a stick?
Marc J Sievers

Pumpkin Tiramisu
For the perfect ending, why not step up your pumpkin pie this year? Though comforting, the basic pumpkin pie is, well, a bit boring. This recipe is the opposite of that.
