    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!!!


    Couldn't agree more!! YUM!!! Drinking some right now!

    I have had this before and it is lovely- the risotto goes all yellow and creamy mmmmm You don't have to serve it in the pumpkin shells but I imagine it would look pretty cool!

    Pumpkin and Ginger Risotto (v)
    A warm and comforting dish. Try to find fresh ginger as it has a sweeter flavour than dried. Wrapped in foil, it will keep for many weeks in the refrigerator.

    * Serves 4
    * 1 serving 293kcal/7g Fat
    * Preparation Time 10 minutes
    * Cooking Time 25 minutes

    Ingredients:

    * 4 baby pumpkins or 1 large pumpkin, cut into quarters
    * 8 baby leeks, finely chopped
    * 2 garlic cloves, crushed
    * 1 x 2.5cm (1in) piece ginger, finely chopped
    * 225g (8oz) Arborio risotto rice
    * 600ml (1 pint) vegetable stock
    * 1/2 glass white wine
    * 2 tbsps Normandy low-fat fromage frais
    * 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
    * salt and freshly ground black pepper
    * a few Parmesan cheese shavings

    Preparation:

    1. Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, Gas Mark 6.
    2. Using a sharp knife, slice the tops off the pumpkins, scoop out the seeds and discard.
    3. Using a small vegetable knife, cut away some of the flesh from around the inside edge, chop and set aside.
    4. Season the pumpkin shells and place in a roasting tin with the tops. Roast for 20–25 minutes until just soft.
    5. Meanwhile, in a non-stick pan, dry-fry the leeks, garlic and ginger until soft. Add the rice and gradually stir in the stock and wine, allowing the rice to absorb it before adding more (this will take between 15 and 20 minutes).
    6. Once all the liquid has been added, stir in the pumpkin flesh, cover and continue to cook for a further 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the fromage frais and chives.
    7. Check the seasoning. Serve the risotto in the pumpkin shells and sprinkle with a few Parmesan cheese shavings.

    I found a pumkin fries recipe on www.thegraciouspantry.com that I can't wait to try. there are two coatings that you can put on them one is savory spices snd the other is a sweet spice. I think that the sweet ones will make a nice snack.

    I really like this recipe for pumpkin dip - it's out of this world with Honey Crisp apples! I think it's originally a Cooking Light recipe.

    Pumpkin Dip

    3/4 cup (6 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    1/2 cup canned pumpkin
    2 teaspoons maple syrup
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or to taste)
    Honey Crisp apples sliced thin for dipping!

    Instructions

    Beat cheese, sugar, and pumpkin in medium bowl at medium speed until blended well. Add syrup and cinnamon, and beat until smooth. Adjust cinnamon amount to taste, and you can even add some nutmeg if you like.
    Cover and chill 30 minutes. Dip apples and enjoy!
