Hate to say it but Cindy is right. You need to spend a little time off
that rock of yours

Because the season of them is relatively short, I get this in 12 can
packs off Amazon.

Here's a simple google for some of the classics:

I do Pumpkin breads about once a month in a variety of spice types.

I do a fair amount of Pumpkin Curry soups and here's a fair example:

Also one I use:

5 Ingredient Thai Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients

€¢ 2 tablespoons red curry paste
€¢ 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth about 32 ounces
€¢ 2 15 ounce cans pumpkin puree
€¢ 1 3/4 cup coconut milk or a 13.5 ounce can, reserving 1 tablespoon
€¢ 1 large red chili pepper sliced (Anaheim or bannana for us)

I generally make 1/2 that recipe and will swap about the curry pastes
with various other powdered curry blends we have here. Works very
nicely to take to lunch for the microwave to warm or it's quite tastey
cold as well!

We aren't fond of Pumpkin Pie and tend more to Pecan at Thanksgiving
and Christmas.
