Getting busy this Holiday Season? Looking into how to enliven your recipe menu? Check out this recipe round up full of mouth-watering savory pumpkin recipes from the Fresh Flavors Swap!
I have to admit – when I saw that the latest theme for our Fresh Flavors Swap linky party was savory pumpkin recipes (main dishes, appetizers, sides, and more), I thought it would be a real stretch to find many non-dessert recipes using pumpkin. Before last week, I had never cooked any savory pumpkin dishes and I guess I hadn’t been keeping my eyes open for all the recipes that were out there. After this week, I am floored by all of the delicious savory pumpkin recipes that exist! I’m afraid I’m going to drive my family crazy trying a bunch of these…
That’s right, pumpkin is not just for baking! It’s a versatile, healthy, delicious ingredient to use in all sorts of recipes all year long.

All of these sound delicious! I can’t wait to try a few new recipes for Thanksgiving this year!
Right away, the pasta with pumpkin sauce from Honey and Birch caught my eye. I went to that site and Pinned this because I would definitely love to make it.
That pasta looks amazing
I have yet to do any cooking/baking with pumpkin! I want to try the pumpkin bacon soup, it sounds like it would be really yummy!
Wow! That’s tons of great pumpkin recipes. I love all the ideas. Gotta try them out soon!
These all look amazing. We even had some pumpkin ravioli that was out of this world. I did stock up on cans pf pumpkin because i saw on the news the price might be going up do to lack of good pumpkins this year.

These are wonderful – I am going to take a better look at some – I’ve only used pumpkin for pies, some smoothies, I’ve heard of pumpkin soup and I it is a healthy treat for my dogs. Now I am really inspired! Thank you
This is briliant, I didn’t think of most of these recipes, definitely bookmarking xx
These recipes are so delicious. Will definitely try them out one by one.
I am so used to seeing sweet pumpkin recipes, it’s a nice switch to try some savory ones. I enjoy savory flavors over sweet and these are perfect for me to make.
OMG! This is so yummy and delicious. I Want to try this recipe at home.
I love to use pumpkin in nearly everything during this time of year! It’s always interesting to me to see the variety of different foods to try pumpkin in!
When I think of pumpkin, I usually think of sweet desserts, but these savory recipes look delicious. I can hardly wait to try a few of them.
Pumpkin is the season. I do like making the items with pumpkin but I do not like eating pumpkin
First, awesome link party. I love the concept. Second, I never saw so many recipes with pumpkin that’s on the savory side. How exciting! I’d love to try some of the recipes.
OMG yes! I love all things pumpkin! I want to try that Quick and Easy Chicken Enchilada Soup!
Oh that pumpkin chili caught my eye. I would love to try that out before I go on my next trip.
I am not a fan of pumpkin flavored anything but some of these dishes sound really good!
Oh your blog is what I have been looking for. Pumpkin is one of my favorite fall flavors. I am going to bookmark your page and share on Pinterest.
I had no clue that there were so many different recipes one could make with pumpkin. There are some very tasty sounding recipes in here!
I love cooking with pumpkin. Not big on pumpkin spiced everything, but I definitely enjoy getting some pumpkin goodness in during the fall.
I want to try every single one of these in the near future. That stew recipe sounds like something we’d eat here in these parts and it would be good on these cold rainy days too.
Oh my gosh ,this looks amazing!!! I cannot wait to try out all of those other pumpkin recipes, too!
