4 pounds of pumpkin, gobbled!!
Pumpkin Party
They were all delicious!!
I didn’t end up freezing any because I managed to eat it all within 10 days. To keep it fresh I always used a clean spoon to dip and was careful not to contaminate with food particles and kept it covered in the fridge.
When I open the next can – 6 pounds for eating this time – I’m going to freeze half right away.
Today I made simple pumpkin oats – 1/3 cup rolled oats made with milk, water, chia and banana with the rest of my pumpkin stirred in [probably a heaping half cup!! Good thing I love it plain!]. I also added a pinch each of cinnamon, allspice and ground cloves.
Black tea
That’s a wrap!

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one going through obscene amounts of pumpkin this season. I’m surprised I haven’t turned orange yet.
Oh my goodness that is AWESOME! I loooovveee pumpkin. It is seriously a great add in to almost anything! Your meals look totally delicious too.
P.s. I am totally and completely HOOKED on sunflower butter…..thanks a lot
You should contact the Guinness Book people – I’m sure that’s a record of some sort!
I think you and I love pumpkin and oats just about at the same level. I ran out of pumpkin and roasted butternut squash last night. I need to get to the pumpkin patch to get more pumpkins so I can be in pumpkin heaven for the rest of the winter!
Great pumpkin party!! Well done haha
love this post! So many pumpkin goodies! I love them all!!!!
I’m impressed! My 1lb can has felt like a lot and I too, love me some pumpkin!
Strong work on finishing that 4 lbs. up!! I’ll have to try some of those great pumpkin recipes to get rid of the rest of mine too.
This is very impressive! I love all of your pumpkin inspired foods. Breakfast this morning looks absolutely delicious!
I’m not as much of a pumpkin fanatic as you, but I definitely need to scoop some up before the season passes me by!
that is some impressive pumpkin eating, kath! thanks for all the great ideas
Are you starting to resemble a cast member of Jersey Shore?
Ha! Not yet!
Pumpkin deliciousness!
You’ll have to try some savory meals with your next round of pumpkin… last week I made a spicy pumpkin soup (reminiscent of a soup we ate in Jamaica last year); and last night I made a pizza using pureed pumpkin as my sauce. Amazing!
(I might be turning Snooki-colored soon, I fear… )

Great post dedicated to one of the best foods in the world! You should be proud of your pumpkin consuming talents.
I love plain pureed pumpkin too, and end up eating several spoonfuls every time I cook or bake with it.
I made an awesome pumpkin chili yesterday (recipe posted last night) that could easily use pumpkin puree instead of chunks of roasted pumpkin. That would get you through about 1/15 of your next can…
If you can do 4 lbs. in 10 days, I should be able to finish this big can I just opened! I’ve got about 3 cups left of pumpkin and I’m scheming things to make/bake today with it
Haha! What a collection. The epitome of Fall
I think it is safe to say you enjoy pumpkin
! Pumpkin must be such a pleasure to photograph= beautiful color!
Hahaha…that is a LOT of pumpkin to get through!! I’m just getting started on my stash…
That’s some impressive pumpkin eating! You’re a pumpkin rockstar!
I am curious to see what you do with your next batch of pumpkin. Maybe something savory?
Definitely!
Do you have an orange glow to you?

Wow– I’m going to read through each an every one of these. I’ve been looking for new pumpkin ideas
OH MYYY goodness that is a whole lot of pumpkin! Your pictures are so amazing and they make all of your food looks so delicious and elegant! I LOVE them!
Are you orange yet?
I am in love with everything in the last photo – so adorable! I need to invest in fun plates, placemats, and cutlery for my blog photos!
I love fresh cooked pumpkin and adore (!!!) roasted squash of every variety, but canned pumpkin just makes my stomach turn for some odd reason…not sure why. Kudos on your accomplishment, though!
Hope the week ahead is awesome for you, Kath!
I’ve been on a pumpkin kick lately! Love all of your pumpkin inspired food!
Kath – you inspired me to try pumpkin in my morning oat bran cereal – delicious! Our local market has the beautiful small pie pumpkins in abundance this year. I roast them whole for about 1.5 hours in the oven and once cool, puree the flesh & freeze in 1 cup portions perfect for muffins or pies. The taste is a little milder than the canned pumpkin, but I love that I’m eating locally grown produce. I’m hooked on pumpkin and your recipes are an inspiration! Thanks!
I like the idea of buying them fresh. I usually buy the canned but find it can be heavy at times. Thanks for the idea.
Nice!!
6 lbs. of pumpkin and no pie…impressive!
congrats!!! Haha that is a lot of pumpkin!
Given your love of pumpkin, you should have licked that bowl before taking the picture! (’cause we all know you did afterwards!) LOL!
HA!
WOAH! Where did you ever find such big cans of pumpkin!?!?!
Foodservice size – from the bakery!
congrats
So much pumpkin! I love it all. Way to plough through it
Wow, I’m impressed! And I love how you were able to come up with so many different breakfast recipes using pumpkin. I tend to stick to the same ol’ pumpkin oatmeal recipe every time. I’ll have to revisit all those posts of yours to get some new ideas!
I’m shocked that you’re not pumpkin’ed out. That’s a whole lot of pumpkin! But all those recipes sound so good. Yum!
Wow, I can’t believe you really did it! It seemed like such a huge amount of pumpkin at the beginning.
Sounds like the perfect breakfast to me! The collage of photos, absolute deliciousness to look at.
Glad I am not the only one that seems to eat pumpkin in everything! Thanks for the great round up of pumpkin recipes!
I’m so impressed! Pumpkin Power!
I am impressed with your pumpkin consumptions. Well done, Kath.
ahhh your awesome! Any tint of orange skin yet??
I knew you could do it. I never have a problem coming up with ways to use pumpkin. We all love it here.
Hi Kath! I am a new reader [HI] and while I am sure you have heard this about a million times before I am going to say it anyway: you have the cutest dishes!!
Thanks Kelly! And welcome to KERF
Yeah, I think I go through at least 2 pounds of pumpkin every week!
Just posted some pumpkin pudding myself. So happy that fall is here!!! What a wonderful round up of orange recipes.
Quite a feat! I tried pumpkin overnight oats and it was pretty dang tasty. My can is only 10 ounces though so I shouldn’t have any trouble eating that!
I’ve been holding off on cracking the cans of pumpkin for a few weeks now, thinking I can prolong summer…but I think it’s time! I’ve been dying for a pumpkin pie smoothie the last couple of days!
Now THAT is talent. You should have turned some of it into a pumpkin pie! Unless you don’t like pumpkin pie…
Okay, this is my favorite post ever. I love pumpkin!!!
LOVE the pumpkin picture montage (complete with recipe links
)
I am curious, why canned pumpkin? Most cans are lined with BPA which leeches into the food. Also most canned foods have unnecessary additives and, in my opinion, often taste off due to the processing. This is the time of year when real pumpkins are in season, and organic ones are often available, why not roast a few?
No reason other than I am lazy and canned is just so easy. The BPA is a bit of a concern, but the ingredients are just pumpkin
Oh girl, you are not lazy. But I do get that canned pumpkin is easier, not to mention less messy. But, what about the pumpkins seeds in a pumpkin? Roasted, they are a tasty snack and perhaps a good oatmeal topper….
True, true!
I’m actually about to roast some squash…I could put in a pumpkin too. I promise to roast a pumpkin this fall! I stuffed them in this post!

OK. Those stuffed pumpkins look amazing! Newish reader here, found your blog this spring. I think someone on that post suggested sugar pie pumpkins, I second that. You won’t be disappointed if you try one. They tend to have more of a squat shape, like the pumpkin Cinderella takes to the ball, and a darker orange.
Cooked one just for you tonight!
Awesome! BTW, I absolutely love your banana whipped oatmeal recipe. Kinda obsessed.
