Did you know that eating something salty can curb a sweet tooth? I swear it works. I keep roasted pepitas on hand all the time for that very reason. If you don’t know what pepitas are, they are the inside part of a pumpkin seed. Roasted pepitas have such great flavor. Pepitas are also a great source of magnesium and omega 3 fatty acid. When made in this fashion, they can be quite addicting. My kids love them as well.
Creamy Pumpkin Pasta. I shared a recipe on my Facebook page the other day for a Pumpkin Pasta from Eat Good 4 Life.
It looked so good I knew I had to try and come up with a vegan and gluten free version of her pumpkin pasta recipe. The addition of coconut milk and cayenne in my pumpkin pasta recipe really makes it special. Pumpkin is so great in savory recipes, not just in sweet recipes.

Most of you wanted more pumpkin, so here is another recipe. This one is savory and really good! It’s kind of a pumpkin version of hummus made with different ingredients.
This dip would be great with chips, crackers or veggies. Great for those holiday parties and a healthy alternative to traditional veggie dips. No added fats in here at all. 🙂 The flavors are very similar to those in my Smokey Roasted Chickpeas. It comes together in just minutes. If you enjoy savory pumpkin recipes, then you may also enjoy my Pumpkin Enchiladas.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. This should last a couple weeks in the fridge and can even be frozen. This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups dip. Enjoy!
Pumpkin Coconut Mousse. Pumpkin and coconut. The two flavors are very different, but they go so well together. I whipped up this light and healthy pumpkin mousse in practically no time at all.
It would be great for Thanksgiving. A new twist on your typical pumpkin desserts and mousse recipe. I used a mousse recipe very similar to my Grain Free Pumpkin Tart filling.
If you don’t care for the taste of coconut, you can certainly try this recipe using heavy whipping cream as well.
I also already have an Almond Butter Mousse recipe on my blog that is equally delish! It’s like pumpkin pie without the crust.
This Pumpkin Coconut Fudge is good. So good that I had to keep it away from my family before they ate it all. I still needed pictures!
It’s been raining for days here in Dallas, but today was clear enough for me to shoot them. It’s very easy to make too. If you love coconut and pumpkin, you will love this pumpkin coconut vegan fudge recipe!
Vegan, gluten free and grain free. I do have to mention that the consistency of these is a little softer than my other fudge recipes. It still does give you that melt in your mouth feel, but it’s softer, almost giving it a light texture as well.
