Einkorn Sourdough Pumpkin Pancakes
These fluffy pumpkin pancakes are one of our favorite cozy breakfasts when the mornings start getting colder.

I usually serve them with maple syrup, fried eggs, and hot coffee for an easy weekend meal. They’re hearty enough to keep you full until lunch.
Dinner in a Pumpkin
For an extra special dinner (that’s really simple to make!), you’ll have to try this dinner in a pumpkin recipe. A whole meal baked right inside a pumpkin with a savory filling of beef, pasta, and vegetables. It looks beautiful on the table and brings such a fun seasonal touch to dinner. We make it at least once every fall.
Butternut Squash Mac n Cheese
Butternut squash mac n cheese is creamy, cheesy, and just a bit sweet from the butternut squash. It’s a healthier take on the classic but still rich and comforting. The sauce gets its creaminess from bone broth and real cheese, making it both nourishing and delicious. My kids love it, and I love that it sneaks in some extra veggies!

It goes well with just about any main dish.

Making pumpkin puree from scratch is easier than most people think, and it tastes so much better than store-bought. I like roasting a few pumpkins at a time and freezing the puree for soups, breads, and pies. It’s a wonderful pantry staple to have on hand all year long!
