Many of you know its a custom here in the northern hemisphere to celebrate autumn and Halloween by decorating the front porch. Being someone who hates waste, and always looking to reduce my plastic use where possible, I like to decorate with pumpkins. They are biodegradable and we can also turn them into something to eat.
We are slowly eating our way through the first one, and there's two more to go... So I've collated a list of recipes that I like to use to enjoy our Jack’o’lanterns in.

Mum used to make a recipe similar to this when she owned and ran a coffee shop. Enjoying this delicious, hearty soup always reminds me of those days hanging out in a coffee shop after school and helping during school holidays.

My father’s partner, Leanne, first cooked this for us when we were travelling through Canada may years ago. It's super delicious and always makes me think of Vancouver.

This is on my list of things to try. I like to minimize my use of wheat flour, so this is perfect!
