Recipe: meal inspiration using pumpkin

May 14, 2017 by Shari

It seems so crazy to me that American’s don’t think of eating pumpkin as a veggie – sure they make pumpkin pies {and I’ve even given it a go here} and they carve pumpkins, but pumpkin doesn’t normally appear on their table. And I think it’s a real shame as pumpkin is one of my favourite veggies. So today, I am going to give you some meal inspiration using pumpkin. 

Pumpkin is so cheap at the moment – and it’s a great veggie for baby led weaning/pureeing.

At present, I’m eating a lot of pumpkin soup as I had been feeling awful and with a fever of almost 40 degrees, I thought I would head to the doctors to see if it was something more serious then ‘just a cold’. Apparently, I had been trying to soldier on with one of the worst cases of tonsillitis that she had ever seen and a middle ear infection.

So it’s pumpkin soup and bed rest for me – bahaha, totally joking on that bed rest front. Here is joking that everyone is kind to Mummy and is asleep by 8:30pm tonight, although when Daddy is away things never go to plan.

You might like to try:

Do you complete nap time meal prep? Do you draw meal inspiration from other bloggers or people on social media? Have you ever whipped up a recipe from my blog? I would love for you to let me know…So I don’t feel as if I am just writing all this stuff down for nothing… If you choose to whip up one of my recipes , then I would love for you to share it on social media, and don’t forget to use the hashtag #goodfoodweek.

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
