pumpkin anyone?

I'm in a pumpkin frame of mind lately, and wondered if any of you have favorite, relatively healthy pumpkin recipes you'd like to share. Thanks in advance for feeding my habit!

Easiest for a pumpkin fix is just put some in oatmeal with pumpkin pie spices.

Yep this is what I do with it. Specifically:

Combine in a bowl:
1/2 cup quick oats
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp pumpkin
dash each of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg
1 packet stevia
A couple drops of vanilla if I'm feeling extra sassy
Micro for 2 minutes. Delish!

Lately I've been combining the oats, spices, and stevia in ziplock bags so I can just dump it into a bowl in the AM and add the milk and pumpkin real quick.

Soup. Fry an onion or a shallot in a bit of oil, add cut up pumpkin and water to cover. Add some salt and curry powder. Cook until done and blend until smooth. Even more delicious with some toasted sesame seeds on it.

Could also be made with canned pumpkin.

Thanks for the ideas, everybody! I'm looking forward to busting out some pumpkin goodness this week!
