So I'm pretty late with this, but I blame the pumpkin suppliers. I couldn't find ANY pumpkin until about two weeks ago. I tried the gluten-free cake mix + can of pumpkin experiment. Don't do it. It was BAD. Very very very bad. Very pumpkiny and not in a good way.

Shirley- I do love fresh pumpkins. The taste difference is amazing. When I go shopping next I hope to grab a few. Will you be adding Pom Pomegranate juice to your pie? I bet that would taste good.

Wendy- Oh I'm jealous. I really wanted to switch to a Mac. I bet creative wise it's a blast! Glad you liked the burgers. Let your daughter know we love to have people visit, as long as they go at the end of the day. But we always let them come back the next day!

Jenn- Wow, that does not sound like a good thing to have happen. So here's a little secret that most people would never admit to. You can put the pumpkin in a bag and smack it against the counter top. It will split into two pieces. If you're having a bad day it might split a little more. Scoop out the seeds and bake. No knife needed. Shhhhh, you didn't hear that from me.

Lauren- It's an easy time of year to be obsessed with pumpkin. I like to eat it all year long too.

Linda- I've seen the white ones in magazines but I was surprised to find them at the market. I think we'll just use it for decoration. Thank you for sharing your recipes on Friday Foodie Fix.

I just can't go for those white pumpkins … they are just not as happy to me. LOL, but true. I'm making another pumpkin recipe this weekend, so I'll add that link later. And, fresh pumpkin totally rules. Canned pumpkin doesn't come close in taste or texture IMO. Just love it! I used canned pumpkin for the easy pumpkin squares and often do when I can't find pie pumpkins. The squares can be made quickly and are so good. But, I love the sound of all the recipes here. Must go check them out now … before I get distracted.

I absolutely LOVE this Friday Foodie Fix, but I think my entry will be late this week. I wanted to share what I'll be doing anyhow because it's just blowing my mind. I was watching Rachel Ray yesterday, and Hungry Girl was on for a visit, and she had a tip for cake-making that just seems so simple but so useful. She says to replace oil and eggs in cake mixes with a can of pumpkin instead. I have no idea if it's going to work in a gluten-free mix since the egg is used as much for building "fluff" in the cake as it is for adding structure to it, but I'm going to try it out as soon as I can find some pumpkin to use. If it works, it's just one more place to find that extra fiber so many of us need. (And maybe also a tiny excuse to eat cake.)

Wow I have not seen a white pumpkin before either! Sadly I do not use fresh pumpkin, a few years ago I was cutting a sugar pumpkin and the blade of my knife (an old poor quality knife I shouldn't have been using) snapped in two and I needed a few bandages….so I've been sticking to the canned stuff until I can muster up the courage to try again w/ the fresh pumpkin…

So excited to see everyone's entries. I'm a bit obsessed with pumpkin at the moment =D.

I've never seen a white pumpkin! I'm having trouble finding more pie pumpkins, but now that I've learned to make fresh pumpkin, I don't want to use canned any more. Thanks for hosting! I'll have to think about sweet potatoes.
