It’s October, my favorite month of the year. This is only month where I unabashedly eat candy corn till my teeth ache and attempt to throw pumpkin into anything I cook. Pinterest provides a treasure trove for the pumpkin obsessed. Decorations, recipes, spooky carving ideas- It’s all there.

You can go for the pumpkin marathon meal with our favorite recipes. First, start the day of with some orange colored pancakes, roll into lunch with the comfort food staple mac and cheese meets Halloween’s favorite vegetable, and finally finish the day off with a refined take on the fall superstar with pumpkin ravioli and cheesecake bites. There are also fantastic ideas for taking the classic Jack O Lantern to a whole new artistic level. If you want to spice up your pumpkin carving routine, try incorporating elements of paint or fabric. Great ideas abound for decorating your house with pumpkins big or small.

Bottom Line: Don’t miss out on our favorite board this month: Pumpkined!
