Chef Shamy butters and the star ingredient of the season: Pumpkin

pumpkinSometimes we are amazed by the versatility of our own butters! As Thanksgiving cornucopias begin to make their way to the center of our holiday tables, our tummies and tastebuds are craving all things pumpkin. We would be happy eating pumpkin morning, noon and night during the fall season, so we’ve put together a list of our favorite ways to enjoy the season’s star ingredient with Chef Shamy butters.

For breakfast, try our Honey Butter with Cinnamon and Brown Sugar on pumpkin pancakes, waffles or French toast. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds roasted in our Garlic Butter with Parmesan and Basil on your lunchtime salad or enjoy these tasty seeds as a healthy afternoon snack. For dinner, a hearty bread with melted French Onion and Asiago Cheese Butter pairs beautifully with a satisfying pumpkin soup.

While you are enjoying these delicious dishes, you can feel good about feeding your family fall’s most popular ingredient. Pumpkin is rich in fiber, so your family will feel fuller longer and have plenty of energy for holiday activites. The high levels of beta-carotene in pumpkin converts to vitamin A in your body and improves optical health and supports the body’s immune system. Have healthy pumpkin recipes of your own?
