LET’S EAT. Pumpkin Recipes...
From savoury soups to sweet pies, there are plenty of ways to enjoy this tasty golden squash. Here are two of my favourite pumpkin recipes, which are absolutely great for Autumn time. Pumpkin & Carrot soup is delicious, warming and easy to make. It’s perfect for Autumnas it is hearty and comforting throughout the colder months, and it’s very tasty. Or you can try this Roast Pumpkin with Tomato and Garlic - which is another simple, and tasty way to enjoy pumpkin, or other squash.
