If so, there are many other uses for it than plain old pumpkin pie (as amazing as it is, there are only just so many you can make)…and pumpkin has a ton of nutritional value too! Canned pumpkin is an anti-oxident rich pantry item that counts as a full vegetable serving!
You can probably guess that lots of the uses involve dessert-type recipes, but there are some surprising ones too such as hummus, soups, pasta dishes and more!
