Pumpkin flavor is truly one of my favorites for this time of the year. Nothing says the season of Autumn and the month of November better than pumpkin. With Thanksgiving Day rapidly approaching, I just couldn’t resist searching Pinterest for Pumpkin related recipes. I admit I love Pinterest and am almost as addicted, as I am to writing, more so for recipes, because I love to try new ones out especially for baking purposes.
Ironically, I am not a fan of pumpkin pie I think I don’t really like the texture of the actual pie filling, but it has very little to do with the taste here, because the taste and/or smell of pumpkins are so very intoxicating to me. With that in mind, I did search Pumpkin recipes on Pinterest, but keep in mind I was looking for unique recipes that were not anything remotely near that of a Pumpkin Pie, because like I said I am so not a fan!
So without further ado, I am now going to share with you the top five Pinterest Thanksgiving Pumpkin Related Recipes that I actually originated from other blogs mostly, that I am in dire need of trying for this Thanksgiving season, and I also thought you too may like to try, as well:
- Thanksgiving Delight: This one was simply labeled ‘Thanksgiving Delight’ and was found on Over the Tipsy Top Design. It contains layers of whipped cream and pumpkin mousse and topped off with chocolate. The presentation is what caught my eye and would be great for any holiday gathering, because it looks and sounds truly amazing. So, my thought on this one is that it can truly be enjoyed by the whole family and then some.
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Truffles - Pumpkin Cream Cheese Truffles: This recipe can be found on Erin’s Food Files. And as the blog owner states, “Pumpkin, Cream Cheese and Truffles, Need more be said.” I have to be honest and tell you I have been dreaming about these since I saw them on my Pinterest page and am definitely making them for my daughter’s second birthday (on Black Friday), because they just seem to be something that would be a huge hit!!
Pumpkin Pie Martini
- Pumpkin Pie Martini: Ok so I go from decadent dessert to an oh so tasty mixed drink. Sorry, but it has been a rough week or so here, so my mind was on something with a bit more of a kick to it. This yummy drink, that has Sylk Cream Liqueur, Vanilla vodka and even Pumpkin liqueur can be found on the blog know as The Hostess with the Mostess.
Decadent Pumpkin Pie Spice Latte - Pumpkin Spice Late: And yet know I take you from an alcoholic drink to something nice, warm and cozy with a tasty latte that has the wonderful flavor of Pumpkin. I have been wanting to try Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte and this recipe says it rivals it, so I am so willing to find out. If you want the full recipe, please got to Mommy’s Kitchen.
Pumpkin spice Late Pancakes for One
- Pumpkin Spice Latte Pancakes for One: I cannot forget breakfast though at this time of the year and truly is the most important meal of the day. Of course, no search for Pumpkin recipes would be complete without a breakfast themed one then and to that end that is where this delicious pancake recipe comes into play touting it as ‘pumpkin spice and coffee’, too. The original recipe can be found here on: Healthy Food for Living.
Happy Soon to Be Thanksgiving, Saturday Morning (too) and Enjoy!!!

The Thanksgiving Delight looks sinful; I would like to drop my entire face into that treat right now. Instead, I'll sip my mocha and dream of all those calories.
Wonderful recipe ideas; thanks for sharing my friend and have a great day!
JanineHuldie says
Lol, Bill. Seriously, I too saw that recipe, too and was hooked. I truly trying that one on Thanksgiving, but like you will dream about it for now. Thanks as always and hope you have been having a great day, too!!
Melanie Chisnall says
Oh my word! It's just before supper time here and I'm starving after looking at all these recipes! YUM! I want to make something with pumpkin for our little Thanksgiving supper (even though it's not an SA tradition, we're starting our own this year!), and was going to go with pumpkin pie. Now I'm so confused! Will have to block off an hour or so sometime before then and decide what to make. You've given me so many ideas….thanks!! 😉
JanineHuldie says
Thanks Melanie and happy to share. I know there are too many here to decide for one occasion. So of course I will be trying each over the next few weeks one at a time. One thing is for sure I probably won't be underweight after the holidays are over, lol!!
Stacy Harris says
As I read this I am actually eating a pumpkin spice bagel topped with pumpkin spiced cream cheese…. can you tell I like pumpkin this time of year! Yes… and I just got a shaker for my birthday so I might have to give the martini a shot, but the first pumpkin recipe really drew my eye. Maybe I will have to make that for Thanksgiving dinner this year!
JanineHuldie says
Thanks Stacy and your breakfast sounded heavenly to a fellow pumpkin lover! That said I am with you on the first for Thanksgiving dessert and am so going to try this one, too 😉
Ruchira says
Great recipes and I like how you brought out the best from other bloggers.
I guess the preps of Thanksgiving gotta start 🙂
JanineHuldie says
Tanks Ruchira and so true about other bloggers, because who better to showcase. I mean we bloggers work our butts off, so I was happy to re-share for others 🙂 🙂
JanineHuldie says
Thanks Steph and the latte had me too. So happy to know though that I am not the only one who is not a fan of pumpkin pie. Hope you try too and enjoy!!
JanineHuldie says
Thanks Kelly and now you should be able to see my page better. I too love pumpkin flavor so couldn't resist this share.
JanineHuldie says
Thanks Kate. I am truly thanking god my other design went wonky on a Saturday and not during the week. Your pumpkin pie recipe sounds interesting and would love to see the recipe, because even though I am not a fan my father-in-law and father love pumpkin pie. Totally appreciate the comments here and thank you again 🙂
JanineHuldie says
Kate, I am and am zepplin305. Please friend me and would love to share with you 🙂
JanineHuldie says

Loooks delicious!! Pumpkin's my favorite. We fry the leaves over here with chili! Great recipe and thanks for sharing!
JanineHuldie says
Thanks Michelle for sharing also and sounds very interesting with frying pumpkin with chili and would never have thought of that.
Cyndi says
These look wonderful! I can understand about the "texture" of the pie – I'm strangely way into food textures. But, I DO love my pumpkin pie. Just don't ask me to eat boiled peanuts. Those things should be CRUNCHY! LOL.
JanineHuldie says
Thanks Cyndi and have never tried boiled peanuts, but sounds like I would have to agree with you on that one, lol 🙂
Joanne T Ferguson says
G'day! Love your staging of Thanksgiving Delights, true!
Wish I could try some right now too!
Cheers! Joanne
