Slightly sweet golden squash is topped with a savory herbed cheese-breadcrumb topping. It's been my signature dish every Thanksgiving for the last 12 years. It takes a bit of work, but it is so, so worth it. Your guests will ask you for the recipe, so be prepared.

Convenient stewed tomatoes are the base for this spooky soup that gets extra richness from cream added minutes before serving. It's nicely flavored with garlic (to keep those vampires away!) and garnished with toasty bat wings. (They are a snap to cut out of white bread-see instructions below.)

Holiday Left-Over Sweet Potato Cake

Submitted by: MLYIN
Home Town: Taipei, Taipei, Taiwan

This recipe lets you use up left-over sweet potato. The cake is very moist, so you don't really need icing. Better yet, if you have left-over sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving, freeze them, and make this cake for Christmas. The whipped sweet potatoes I use already have some butter and sugar, so I only use 1 3/4 cups of sugar in the batter, but adjust the sugar amount to your liking. 

Candied Apples

Submitted by: CLAUD1
This recipe uses black currant syrup, the type used to flavor drinks, to give the candied apples a beautiful red candy coating. 

Stir-Fried Pumpkin

Submitted by: LIL_PYRO
Pumpkin and carrot provide an orange background for the black sesame seed garnish that makes a terrifically festive dish for Halloween, or just any other occasion for which you desire a uniquely colorful vegetarian dish. 

Pumpkin Brulee

Submitted by: Daryl

Pumpkin Parfaits

Submitted by: Jodster
These layered desserts are a terrific alternative to pumpkin pie. Cream cheese, marshmallow creme, and canned pumpkin make for a light and smooth texture to contrast with the pecan and crushed gingersnap topping.
