Try These Great Pumpkin Recipes for Your Thanksgiving Feast
Greet the holidays with some creamy pumpkin dip or some fragrant pumpkin bread.
Pumpkins are here and ready to enjoy. They are fun to decorate with during the autumn months but they’re also good to eat. You can use fresh cooking pumpkins, bake them and scoop out the pulp or, like I do, take the easy way out and use canned pumpkins for my baking needs. Here are some new pumpkin ideas for this year. The next time you bake a pumpkin pie try using a gingersnap crust for it instead of the traditional flour crust. If you have an ice cream maker, enjoy some pumpkin ice cream.

What Are You Serving for Thanksgiving?
Give other Patch readers inspiration - tell us in the comments section what you're serving up for your holiday dinner on Thursday.

Truth be told, I'd like to do something a little different this year -- maybe a Thanksgiving cookout in my casually decorated backyard (I'd probably have to put more work into the decor than the meal). I'd love to include grilled fish and some exotic side dishes. But that's all I know at the moment. How about you? What are you serving for Thanksgiving dinner? Do you have tried and true dishes that you make every year? Will you attempt something new? Tell us your menu in the comments section below -- and offer up some inspiration!
