“Every year, my family has a cooking competition in the fall. There are no rules except these two: you have to use pumpkin in some way, and you can’t make the same thing twice. The first year, it was a lot of cookies and bread. Now that it’s been a while, things are getting pretty creative. I’m not sure how this even started, but it’s really fun and we all look forward to it every year. This year, I’m making a pasta dish with a pumpkin sauce. We’ll see how it goes!”
