5 Ways to Use the Whole Pumpkin

If one thing could define fall, it would be pumpkins. As soon as that first leaf drops we like to bust out pumpkin everything. Pumpkin spiced lattes, pumpkin scented candles, and of course insta-worthy trips to the pumpkin patch. What do we usually do with those pumpkins? Carve or paint them and leave them to rot. What if I told you that you could use the whole thing? Yes, guts and all. Halloween may be over, but stay in the fall spirit with these 5 ideas to use your whole pumpkin!
