Start by heating oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until golden brown on both sides, stirring occasionally. Then, transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
Use the same skillet to heat a little more oil over medium heat and cook the onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Continue to cook for about 30 seconds. Add the orzo and stir to combine.
Pour in the broth, then the cream. Add the pumpkin, sage, thyme, and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Increase the heat to high and bring to a slow simmer then reduce the heat and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is cooked through. This should take about 10 minutes. Return the sausage to the skillet and stir to combine.
Add the cheese and stir to combine and melt the cheese. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if needed. Serve warm, garnished with additional sage and thyme. Enjoy!

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Add the chicken to a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until cooked through and an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached. Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Once cool enough to touch, shred or slice into ½-inch pieces. Set aside. Keep the oven turned on to 350 degrees F.
Next, cook the bacon according to package instructions. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Once cool enough to the touch, chop and set aside.
Next, heat butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until caramelized and a golden-brown color, about 20-30 minutes.
While the onions cook, make the sauce. Add the garlic, pumpkin, chicken broth, milk, olive oil, salt, sage, nutmeg, and pepper to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into the pan with the caramelized onions and heat until warmed through.
Also, while the onions cook, prepare the pasta. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Next, add the pasta, chicken, and bacon to the pumpkin sauce and toss to combine. If the skillet is not large enough for all ingredients transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and stir to combine and melt the cheese. Transfer to a 9×13 baking dish and spread into an even layer.
Top with the remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup parmesan cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to turn golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!

Start by preheating the oven to 300 degrees F and bring a small pot of water to a boil. Place 2 ramekins in a baking dish, making sure they aren’t touching.
Add the egg yolks, heavy cream, pumpkin, ¼ cup sugar, cinnamon, ginger, gloves, and nutmeg to a large mixing bowl and whisk together. Pour the mixture into the 2 ramekins, evenly divided.
Pour the boiling water into the baking dish, surrounding the ramekins, about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Be careful to not splash any water inside the ramekins.
Carefully place in the oven so you don’t splash the water around and bake for 40 minutes (if the ramekins are wide and shallow) or 50 minutes (if the ramekins are narrow and deep). Remove from the oven and let cool on the stove along with the water bath. Then, dry off the bottom of the ramekins, cover with plastic, and move to the fridge to chill overnight.
When ready to serve, sprinkle 2 Tbsp of sugar over each ramekin and use a kitchen torch to brûlée the top of each until crispy and brown. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Start by adding the marshmallows, pumpkin, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to a large saucepan and heat over low heat. Stir frequently until melted and completely combined and smooth. Pour into a mixing bowl and let cool completely, about 20-30 minutes.
Once cool, add the container of cool whip and stir to combine. Pour into the pie crust and spread into an even layer. Cover the pie with the enclosed lid and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to overnight.
When ready to serve, add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until stiff peaks form. Add the whipped cream to a piping bag or Ziploc bag and snip off the corner. Pipe in a decorative pattern over the top of the pie.
