I do a butternut squash soup garnished with roasted marshmallow. It's simple, tasty and the marshmallow is always a hit ( especially if you are trying to get kids to try it). It could translate easily for pumpkin.
Cut squash in halves, roast with butter until tender enough to peel easily. Chop and place in pot with enough heavy cream to cover about 2 inches over squash. Cook slowly so as not to scorch cream or boil over. When squash has become very tender ( mashable), remove and process in blender a small amount at a time ( careful with lid, as hot liquids can blow top off.. I cover lid with a towel as I blend). Season to taste with your favorites, salt, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon or cardamom, a bit of brown sugar or honey). Should be a thick smooth texture when all blended.
Roast marshmallow and lay on top for a lil treat!
I am thinking of doing a chestnut- leek bread pudding in addition to the girls traditional stuffing. Depends on whether or not I can find a chestnut around here..LOL. Maybe some sweet potato timbales. That depends on whether or not I want to kill everyone before the holidays!
Bon appetite folks.. some great menus on here!
