Pumpkin in meatballs? Why not?" writes Alyssia Sheikh of Mind Over Munch, who serves her cinnamon-spiked turkey meatballs with a flavorful pumpkin-coconut sauce.

You might think it's too chilly to eat a frozen treat this time of year, but we guarantee that if you pass out these pumpkin pie popsicles at your kids' table on Thanksgiving, they will be instantly devoured. And if you've got a mix of dietary restrictions, Marla of Family Fresh Cooking suggests using coconut milk to make them vegan and dairy-free.
