As Hallowe’en and Thanksgiving are approaching, we always have left over pumpkin. We often wonder what to do with it. You can, of course, make pies, but I decided to go an extra step and and be different. So, I made a squash style pumpkin omelette. Believe me, it was well worth the time and effort. It is a type of omelette I have never tasted before. The taste of fresh pumpkin just comes through so nicely you will want to have seconds and share it with your family and friends.
