    I am so eager for Fall to start that I just painted my toenails a pumpkin orange.

    I also have a recipe for pumpkin cookies that I got out of a Cooking Light magazine. They are so good. I make them every holiday.

    Makes a creamy sauce with pumpkin puree, sage, shallots, garlic, chicken broth, and parmesan cheese. Making it tonight!

    bump!! just stocked up on canned pumpkin today. if the "Spartan" store brand is available in your area, check it out! It has less calories per serving than Libby's.

    i'm particularly interested in pumpkin soup recipes, if anyone has some to share! :flowerforyou:

    Directions:
    Combine pureed pumpkin, vanilla, apple juice, cinnamon sticks and sugar in a large saucepan.
    Stir well and bring to a boil.
    Reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until thickened.
    Stir frequently.

    Cool whip

    Directions:
    In a small pan, combine milk, pumpkin butter and sugar and cook on medium heat, stirring, until boiling.
    Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
    Whisk until smooth.
    Refrigerate or serve over ice.
    Top with cool whip and pumpkin pie spice.


    Pumpkin Oatmeal Shake

    Ingredients:

    2 tsp. cinnamon
    2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

    Directions:
    Cook oats and water in a small pot for a minute or two, stirring often until it becomes thick and bubbly.
    Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
    In a blender, add milk, pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, oats and ice.
    Blend on high until very smooth.
    Chill in refrigerator or pour over ice.


    Pumpkin Spiced Crepes with Pumpkin Butter

    Ingredients:

    1½ cups fat free milk
    2 large egg whites
    1 whole egg
    1 tsp. oil
    1 tsp. vanilla
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 tsp. cinnamon
    2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
    Butter flavored spray
    1½ cups pumpkin butter (2 tbsp. in each crepe), warmed
    Cool whip (optional)
    Powdered sugar (optional)


    Directions:
    Blend flour, milk, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, eggs and oil until smooth in the blender.
    Spray non-stick onto medium heat skillet.
    Pour ¼ cup crepe mixture into pan, swirling to make thin and smooth.
    Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until bottom is light golden brown.
    Flip and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
    Repeat.

    Pumpkin pie is one of my favorite things in the world. I buy Pumpkin Butter and use it on my wheat toast. It is made here in Ozark Missouri by Hallam's. it is 30 calories per tbsp, no fat, no cholesterol, no sodium, 5g of sugar. If you have a pumpkin sweet tooth it is worth buying.

    Do all of your grocery stores stock canned pumpkin right now?? I bought some about 6 weeks ago and NOW both of my local grocery stores are telling me they don't stock it in the summer - that it's just a seasonal item. GRRRR.

    I guess I'll have to wait to make all these yummy recipes! I'm so excited!
