    This morning for breakfast, I had a bowl of oatmeal and I mixed in 1/4 cup canned pure pumpkin, cinnamon, and 2 equals then put a little bit of fat free reddi whip on top and it was delicious!!! It was like eating oatmeal pumpkin pie!:) It came to about 185 calories.

    OH! and I had a girls night wine party not too long ago and I made "pumpkin pie dip". I didnt use exact measurements because some people like it more creamy and some people like it more pumpkiny. Mix fat free cool whip, canned pure pumpkin, cinnamon, and 2 packets of equal. Then serve some low fat graham crackers or apple wedges to dip in it!:)

    lol, I'm looking forward to autumn too (that's what us brits call fall) We don't eat much pumpkin here- just use them generally as halloween lanterns! But, this is changing and I for one plan to nom a lot of pumpkin this year.

    Thai pumpkin soup- serves 6, 192 cals per portion.

    1.5kg pumpkin- cubed, peeled and roasted
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    1 onion, chopped
    1 thumb sized piece of fresh root ginger, chopped
    1-2 stalks of lemongrass, bruised
    3-4 tbsp thai red curry paste
    1 400ml can reduced fat coconut milk
    850ml vegetable stock (broth)
    1 chopped fresh red chilli, to garnish
    juice from 1/2 a big lime, or 1 whole small lime
    2 tsp sugar
    black pepper

    Sautee the onion, ginger & garlic in a saucepan and then add the curry paste, stock, pumpkin & whizz with a hand blender (or put the lot into a blender then return to the pan).

    Return to the heat, and simmer gently. Add the lemongrass stalks, lime juice, sugar & pepper and simmer for 10-15 mins to infuse. At the least minute, stir in the coconut milk and warm through. Serve sprinkled with chilli slices.

    Roast pumpkin and spinach lasagne- 415 cals per portion

    Kale, Pumpkin and bacon crock pot stew- 225 cals per portion:

    I love fall too!! I've already started using the cinnamony air fresheners. :-) Here's a recipe that I love so much. It's not healthy at all, but I'm sure you could tweak it a little. I make it when I'm in a hurry for fall to get here.

    Ingredients

    topping:
    1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    5 tablespoons sugar
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

    bread:
    3 cups all-purpose flour
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
    1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
    1 (15 ounce) cans solid-pack pumpkin
    3/4 cup vegetable oil
    2 1/4 cups sugar
    4 large eggs, lightly beaten
    2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped ( 2 cups)

    TOPPING:
    Blend together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and butter in a small bowl with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.

    BREAD:
    Put a rack in the middle of oven and preheat oven to 350°F Butter two 9 X 5 inch loaf pans.
    Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice into a medium bowl. Whisk together pumpkin, oil, sugar, and eggs in a large bowl. Add flour mixture, stirring until well combined. Fold in apples. Divide batter between buttered loaf pans. Sprinkle half of topping evenly over each loaf. Bake until a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center of bread comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool loves in pans on a rack for 45 minutes, then turn out onto rack and cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Pumpkin Cranberry Bread


    Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups Pumpkin (canned)
    1 cup Granulated White Sugar
    1/2 cup Water
    2 tbsp Ground Flaxseed Meal
    1/4 cup Canola Oil
    2 cups White Whole Wheat Flour
    2 tsp Baking Powder
    1/4 tsp Baking Soda
    1/2 tsp Salt
    1 tsp Cinnamon, Ground
    1/2 tsp Ginger, Ground
    1/2 tsp Nutmeg, Ground
    1 cup Fresh Cranberries


    Directions

    Preheat oven to 350° F. and grease a loaf pan, 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 by 2 3/4 inches.
    In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together pumpkin, sugar, water, flax meal, and oil. Sift in flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and spices and stir just until batter is smooth. Stir in cranberries and spoon batter into loaf pan, spreading evenly.
    Bake bread in middle of oven 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean, and cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes. Turn bread out onto rack and cool completely. Bread may be made 4 days ahead and chilled, covered.

    OOOHHH! The pumpkin pancake sounds like it would be SOO yummy with almonds and banana slices on top with a little bit of maple syrup! Mmmm!!!!!
  • My favorite pumpkin recipe, Pumpkin Whoopie Pies, is definitely not friendly to my new healthy way of eating, unless I make a batch and give away 99% of it. :)

    I LOVE Green Mountain's Pumpkin Spice Coffee, I'm anxiously awaiting it's re-release this month. Also love pumpkin bread and pumpkin pancakes/waffles. I just need to find a way to make them healthier than I used to make them.

    MMMM..... That pumpkin spice coffee is the best!!!
