Happy October, friends!
I’m kicking off this first Friday in October by rounding up everyone’s favorite fall food: PUMPKIN!
What’s not to love? It’s creamy, so versatile, and makes anything instantly and wonderfully seasonal. We see a lot of recipes for sweet pumpkin treats this time of year. I’ve been pumping them out left and right. But you know what is even better than pumpkin pastries?
Pumpkin for dinner.

So I’ve found you some of the most appetizing and amazing vegan pumpkin recipes from around the internet to make it easier for YOU to fully dive into this glorious October weekend.
Let’s take a look.
