    Apparently a cup of pumpkin is a mere 49 calories, and steamed pumpkins taste like FRKING SWEET AF MASHED POTATO??! Not to mention the fiber content and making you feel full for long periods of time. It's a miracle food, granted to us from the heavens above...

    I ate them the whole time they were in season. I love them. I eat them fresh. I cut and cube them and roast them daily when they are in season. You must have purchased them frozen?

    All winter squash is great. Acorn is probably my favorite, and spaghetti squash is fun. I always enjoy getting a ton of it in my CSA box in the fall.

    I roast acorn pretty much everyday now that pumpkin is out of season

    Roast pumpkin with a couple of poached eggs on top. Delicious, nutritious and filling for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I always roast heaps and have the pumpkin either cold or reheated on subsequent days.

    I love mixing pumpkin puree, cottage cheese, a sliced banana and top with cinnamon and maple syrup...

    Sweet mother of God that sounds amazing.
