Fun Pumpkin Foods that are Better Than a Latte

Everyone is talking about pumpkin spice but no one seems to be talking about pumpkin the food. I find it so odd that we love the things that reminded us of everything we like about pumpkin-flavored food "it's spice" but not the actual pumpkin.

Think about it. Everyone rushes out for their first pumpkin spice latte but no one is running around trying to find a pumpkin pie or a jar of pumpkin butter. Is it just me or is that weird?

Pumpkins are Good for more than Pumpkin Lattes

I happen to be a person that enjoys pumpkin spice but not because it tastes like pumpkin, I like it because it is a great combination of spices that taste great on everything. But what about actual pumpkin foods? They should get the spotlight too this time of year. I think it is crazy that you normally don't see pumpkin pie until Thanksgiving.
