I make stuffed pumpkin with them. The stuffing I use is a mix of whatever ground meat you prefer (I am planning to do them for Halloween dinner with half beef half turkey), rice (I use brown), onions, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and a touch of saffron. I cook the onions with a bit of cooking spray until they are tender then add the meat and seasonings and brown it. I then mix it with cooked brown rice. I cut the tops off of the little pumpkins as if I were making jack-o-lanterns and clean out the seeds and stuff. Then fill them with the stuffing, set the tops back on lightly, put them on a baking sheet, and bake them at about 400 for about an hour. It is sooooo good. You can also add more veggies to the stuffing, change the seasonings, sometimes I add diced apples, cranberries, or chopped nuts.
