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!
Hillary says
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.
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
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 😉
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
You should contact the Guinness Book people – I’m sure that’s a record of some sort! 🙂
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
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!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says

Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
I’m impressed! My 1lb can has felt like a lot and I too, love me some pumpkin! 🙂
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
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.
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
This is very impressive! I love all of your pumpkin inspired foods. Breakfast this morning looks absolutely delicious! 🙂
Chloe (In Fine Feather) says
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!
kathleen @ the daily crumb says

Molly @ RDexposed says
Are you starting to resemble a cast member of Jersey Shore?
KathEats says
Ha! Not yet!
Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey says
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… )

Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
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… 🙂
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
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 😉

Caitlin says
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!
Karen says
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!
Kim @ Eat, Live, and Blog says
I’ve been on a pumpkin kick lately! Love all of your pumpkin inspired food! 🙂
Sue from Canada says
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!
Jen says
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.
KathEats says
Nice!!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
6 lbs. of pumpkin and no pie…impressive!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
congrats!!! Haha that is a lot of pumpkin!
Sara says
Given your love of pumpkin, you should have licked that bowl before taking the picture! (’cause we all know you did afterwards!) LOL!
KathEats says
HA!
Kaila @healthyhelperblog! says
WOAH! Where did you ever find such big cans of pumpkin!?!?!
KathEats says
Foodservice size – from the bakery!
Michaela says
congrats 😀
Heather @ Get Healthy with Heather says
So much pumpkin! I love it all. Way to plough through it 🙂
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
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!
Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled says
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!
[email protected] says
Wow, I can’t believe you really did it! It seemed like such a huge amount of pumpkin at the beginning.
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
Sounds like the perfect breakfast to me! The collage of photos, absolute deliciousness to look at. 🙂
Hilliary @ Happily Ever Healthy says
Glad I am not the only one that seems to eat pumpkin in everything! Thanks for the great round up of pumpkin recipes!
Kim @ Spoonful of Sass says
I’m so impressed! Pumpkin Power!
Cait @ Beyond Bananas says
I am impressed with your pumpkin consumptions. Well done, Kath.
katie @KatieDid says
ahhh your awesome! Any tint of orange skin yet??
[email protected] says
I knew you could do it. I never have a problem coming up with ways to use pumpkin. We all love it here.
Kelly says
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!!
KathEats says
Thanks Kelly! And welcome to KERF 🙂
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
Yeah, I think I go through at least 2 pounds of pumpkin every week! 🙂
Gena says
Just posted some pumpkin pudding myself. So happy that fall is here!!! What a wonderful round up of orange recipes.
~Christy @ wonderofallthings says
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! 😉
Stacy @ Say It With Sprinkles says
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!
Julia H. @ The Petite Spiel says
Now THAT is talent. You should have turned some of it into a pumpkin pie! Unless you don’t like pumpkin pie…
Ally at A Girl In Her Kitchen says
Okay, this is my favorite post ever. I love pumpkin!!!
Cait's Plate says
LOVE the pumpkin picture montage (complete with recipe links 🙂 )
SD says
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?
KathEats says
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
SD says
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….
KathEats says
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!
https://www.katheats.com/the-orange-p-word
SD says
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.
KathEats says
Cooked one just for you tonight!
SD says
Awesome! BTW, I absolutely love your banana whipped oatmeal recipe. Kinda obsessed.
