Did you buy a pumpkin earlier this month with the perfectly good intentions of carving it for Halloween but never got around to it? I'm more into painting on them than carving them, but either way -- what to do with that pumpkin when Halloween is over? Although in my opinion pumpkins look just great sitting around through and well past Thanksgiving (as long as they don't start rotting!) if you're not keen on that idea consider taking it into the kitchen and whipping up some healthy dishes for the family. Learn how to make a basic pumpkin puree (the staple of all good pumpkin recipes), and then pick from any number of pumpkin recipes online or in cookbooks. One that sounds particularly good to me are these Pumpkin Popovers.
