    Hungry Girl Brownies! This is my new fave! ! 15 oz can of pumpkin and 1 box of devil's food cake mix. Mix and bake in greased muffin tins. they are 1181 calories each. I made them for my husband's family and they did not even know there was pumpkin in them. :)

    oh and a couple more!

    I really like pumpkin oatmeal: http://www.earfullofpumpkin.blogspot.com/2011/01/dreams-pumpkin-oatmeal.html

    And spicey Pumpkin Enchiladas!

    2-3 Cups shredded chicken
    1/2 Cup chopped white onion
    2 Cups pumpkin puree or 1 can pumpkin puree
    4 Cloves garlic, minced
    1/4 Teaspoon salt
    1/4 Teaspoon black pepper
    1 or 2 Jalapeno peppers, quartered
    1 Teaspoon chili powder
    1 1/2 Cups water
    8-10 Corn tortillas (6-inch)
    Vegetable oil
    1-2 Cups grated sharp cheddar cheese

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a blender, puree pumpkin, garlic, jalapeno, chili powder, and water. Pour 1 cup of sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.

    Heat a bit of oil and warm the tortillas (one at a time) on a griddle or pan, lightly coating each tortilla with oil. This will keep the tortilla pliable when you roll it. Mound chicken and onions on warmed tortilla, and roll; place, seam side down, in baking dish.

    Sprinkle a little cheese on top, then pour remaining sauce over the whole thing; top generously with cheese. Bake until cheese is golden and sauce is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

    Skinnytaste .com has some yummy stuff I tried this year. Among them are pumpkin spice cupcakes with pumpkins spice cream cheese frosting! SO GOOD! And yummy without the frosting too, 84cals each. And pumpkin turkey chili. My daughter was so impressed with just the smell of it, she asked me to make her a batch without the turkey so she could have some. She is vegetarian.

    I use pumpkin instead of butternut squash to make vegan mac n cheese.

    I'll give you my "cheese" sauce recipe...

    1 C soymilk
    1/2 can pumpkin
    1 T tahini
    1 T miso
    2 T vegenaise
    1/3 C nutritional yeast
    1/2 T onion powder
    1/2 t granulated garlic
    1/2 t smoked paprika
    1/2 t dry mustard
    1/2 t salt
    1 t dijon mustard

    You can pour that over noodles, elbow macaroni, spaghetti, whatever pasta you like, or even rice.

    Add some chicken, tofu, ham, bacon, or bacon bits (I'm guessin you ain't vegan, so I'm just throwing all the options in there. :wink:).

    Also some broccoli, rotel tomatoes and chiles, onion, mushrooms, olives, or whatever you want.

    Lots of options there, but this is a good healthy alternative to processed cheese sauce. Great for the lactose intolerant or vegan (I'm both.)

    :happy:

    Pumpkin cookies, but I make some subsitutions. I don't know HOW healthy they are, but I know it's better than the original recipe and they are SOOO yummy. I use 1 cup white flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, and 1/2 cup ground flax seed. I change the sugar to splenda, and the brown sugar to Splenda brown sugar. I omit the raisins (very high in sugar), and add a bit of nutmeg. They are AMAZING!

    8 ounces butter, softened
    1 cup white sugar
    1 cup packed brown sugar
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 cup pumpkin puree
    1 cup rolled oats
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup raisins
    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    Directions
    1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    2.Cream together butter, white sugar and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla and pumpkin.
    3.In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, raisins and flour. Stir into pumpkin mixture.
    4.Drop cookies by the heaping teaspoonful on to cookie sheets covered with parchment paper. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until slightly browned around edges.
    5.Remove from oven and place on cooling racks.

    My mom makes the filling for a pumpkin pie and cooks it in the crock pot. Great pie, no crust.
