Pumpkin Recipe Compilation

I went to Sam's Club.  I bought a package of three, 28 oz cans of Libby's pure pumpkin puree.  (Say that ten times).  I am learning that most recipes do not call for 28 oz of pumpkin; they call for a fraction of the amount.. like 1 cup or at the most, 14 oz.  Needless to say, I have a lot of pumpkin to use.  And for one 28 oz can, I can almost guarantee that I need at least two recipes.   

So, in delight of today being the start of November/the Holiday Season, and because of a lot of pumpkin in my pantry-- I have assembled some of my favorite pumpkin recipes to share, as well as new pumpkin recipes that look very tasty.

I posted this recipe last fall.   But it's completely worth posting again and baking annually!  This is my mom's recipe and I have enjoyed for many fall seasons :)

Also, I am looking for a good pumpkin cookie recipe... one that is more on the denser/chewier side, as opposed to the softer/fluffier cookies.  Any one have a recipe they're willing to share?
