The pumpkin love doesn't have to stop there — plenty of savory pumpkin recipes, such as Pumpkin Souffle With Habanero Cheddar, are ideal when the occasion calls for something healthy and hot to warm on a cold evening. Suitable as part of a holiday feast or a standalone entrée, this souffle also makes great leftovers that can be served warm or cold.

Zucchini Bread With Pumpkin Seeds can be served warm from the oven or saved for later for a delicious take on French toast, especially its served with spreadable cheddar cheese. This bread is also an excellent accompaniment to winter soups and stews or enjoyed on its own as a healthy snack.
