Celebrating the Harvest With Mrs. Wages

Celebrate Pumpkin Season!

How many ways to cook a pumpkin? Read on! Celebrate fall with baking ideas using Mrs. Wages® Pumpkin Pie Filling and other Mrs. Wages spices. We make baking easy and it’s versatile enough to add a rich aroma to your squash and pumpkin dishes.  Check out how creative you can be with our pumpkin mix and other spices featuring Mrs. Wages Test Kitchen recipes including: Beef Stew with Butternut Squash, Butternut Chili, Slow-Cooker Tortilla Squash Soup and more.

We can always count on Food in Jars’ blogger Marisa McClellan to share her unique take on pumpkin such as Pickled Sugar Pumpkin, a Caramelized Onion Salad or try her tasty Roasted Butternut Squash and Cranberry Butter.

It isn’t fall without squash-inspired pie. Small Measure blogger Ashley English shares her mouth-watering ideas for Gingersnap Pumpkin Pie and Praline Crunch as well as a surprise entrée for Roasted Butternut Squash, Goat Cheese & Rosemary Galette.

And, last but certainly not least, you can rely on our canning expert, retired extension educator Shirley Camp, to share her canning wisdom with Seven Easy Pumpkin Cooking Tips, along her own favorite recipe for Low-Fat Pumpkin Bread.

From all of us at Mrs. Wages, we hope you are celebrating your own fall traditions, along with the delicious and savory treats the season brings…
