Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Pumpkin

It’s that time of year when people go bonkers over pumpkin flavored things. Cue the thousands of posts on instagram of pumpkin spice lattes #fall #pumpkin. You know what the real gold mine is? Adding bacon to anything pumpkin. Especially if you live in the south. Trust me, it will be a hit. (See here if you don't believe me.)

I’m not a crazy pumpkin fanatic but I do enjoy it every now and then – especially in the fall and winter. Here are my favorite ways to enjoy it.

In a soup.  Of course I would put thick cut bacon on top.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In a beer. Well, it’s not really pumpkin but the flavor is there. My favorite is UFO Pumpkin Beer.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In a pie. I would also add hand-whipped cream and candied bacon to the top. Duh.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Well, now I’ve made myself very hungry. What’s your favorite way to eat pumpkin?
