I recently made my pumpkin bread in the form of mini muffins. With the addition of chopped walnuts on top and a layer of cream cheese frosting in the middle, I transformed some of them into little cupcake bites, perfect for a dessert party or an afternoon treat.

You can't have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner without pumpkin pie. This standard version is easy to throw together. I use an easy press-in-the-pan pie crust that saves a lot of time compared to the rolled out versions. For a unique way to serve your pumpkin pie, prepare mini pumpkin pies in muffin tins.

Canned pumpkin works in a pinch but there is nothing like using homemade pumpkin purée! If you end up with more than you can use, freeze it in 1 or 2 cup quantities for future use.

Nothing screams the arrival of autumn like the smell of pumpkin bread permeating the house. This year, I had a freezer full of homemade puréed baby foods (zucchini, sweet potato, summer squash and yams) that my son would no longer eat. Not wanting to waste the purées and wanting my son to eat his veggies, I decided to change tactics and turn the baby food into a sweet bread. Each time I've made this bread it has been moist and full of a rich, nutty, spicy autumn flavor.
