Pumpkin Spice Scones

Why is it that no recipe seems to call for a whole can of pumpkin purée? The big question when making anything with pumpkin in it is: "so what else do I make to use up this stuff?" How 'bout a slightly sweet, mildly spiced scone with cinnamon chips? Add a cup of hot coffee and you've got breakfast.

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

My mom makes fantastic homemade chocolate whoopie pies. One day we had pumpkin pancakes for dinner and I found myself with just shy of 1 cup of pumpkin purée left over — what to do? I found a recipe online for pumpkin whoopie pies. It needed to be altered slightly to scale down to the amount of homemade pumpkin purée, and I wanted to use my mom's cream filling recipe.

Ravioli Florentine

Sauteeing spinach with onion and garlic is one of my favorite ways to prepare that particular leafy green. Add that mixture to creamy ricotta and you've got a great filling for a ravioli (or tortellini). Now that I think about it, probably great for lasagna, too
