From Jolinda Hackett, your Guide to Vegetarian Food
Hello, my name is Jolinda, and I am addicted to coffee. Oh sure, I've quit for periods of months, even years, but I just really love the stuff. I don't want to quit! Is it really any surprise then, that one of my favorite fall rituals is ordering a pumpkin pie latte just as soon as they begin appearing on cafe menus?

Pumpkin pizza!
Roasted pumpkin tops this gourmet vegetarian pizza, filled with a variety of textured toppings and wonderfully complementary flavors. A true work of art!

The mighty pumpkin
It's really a testament to the mighty orange squash that it actually goes well with coffee. To it's credit, pumpkin goes well with so many foods. While we all love it in pies, pumpkin also appears in cookies, muffins, breads, cakes and soups. In Thailand, it's cooked with sugar syrup and stuffed with an egg custard for a sweet dessert or snack (see a sample here). So, without further adieu, in celebration of everyone's favorite squash (and, well, Halloween), here are the best pumpkin recipes ever.

...and acorn squash too
In our eager fanfare for the mighty orange king of squash, let's not forget some lesser seasonal squashes. Acorn, for example, is a favorite for it's small size and ease of preparation. Chop, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper (and nutritional yeast, of course!) and you've got yourself a meal. Here's some other favorite acorn squash recipes:
  • Baked squash with baked beans
  • Barley-stuffed acorn squash

  • But best of all, butternut squash!
