Pumpkin pie, baking (replace oil, eggs, butter, water, etc.), add to smoothies, make soup (chili?). There's lot's of possibilities.

I make Pumpkin Spice Bread every christmas for all our neighbors! I found the recipe on allrecipies.com (it was submitted by Delora Lucas if that helps you narrow it down when if you serch for it). I don't know if you are looking for something sweet like this but it's awesome and I've gotten lots of compliments on it over the years! It has 191 calories per slice (makes 32), but I don't know if that is a lot or not!

I also have a recipe bookmarked in my Eat, Shrink & Be Merry cookbook that I think looks good but haven't made it yet. It's called "Gourdian Angel" and it says it's a "silky pumpkin soup with apples and ginger". I would think you could look it up in their website, but you can always send me a message if you want me to send it to you! (This makes 6 servings and, has 142 calories per serving)

Have fun creating something delicious!

Add the pumpkin to angel food cake mix! It's so easy and awesome.

I saw a post somewhere where someone mixed it with those boxed cake mixes? Without oil and eggs, and I think they made some pretty kickass pumpkin muffins. Never tried it myself, but it sounded intriguing.

I'd make pumpkin bread or loaf Let me know if you want the recipe. I have it kicking around somewhere, or use it to make a veggie lasagna. I've made it where you spread it in between the layers of pasta with tons of veggies, sauce and ricotta

I tried this and I only have one word: Absolutely terrible (okay, 2 words LOL). I have an oatbran muffin recipe that I bet would make a good use of that pumpkin and probably would be really.

I'm afraid my only idea was juggling with them.

I'm sure all of my ideas have already been shared, but I adore pumpkin and can't help responding. I use it in everything! I also have three cans in my pantry and should use them soon. What have I been waiting for? Anyway…

add a tablespoon to yogurt for breakfast with some cinnamon, nutmeg and a sprinkle of granola…yum!

add it to all smoothies! I usually try to get creative with sneaking vegetables into my smoothies, pumpkin is perfect for this.

if you treat yourself to ice cream, mix in a little pumpkin for added nutrition

I've never tried it, but I was just thinking a sweet potato salad could be interesting…use canned pumpkin + yogurt as your base

of course there's oatmeal…pumpkin is perfect in oatmeal, add all the spices you'd normally add to pumpkin pie

dessert - heat some in the microwave with cinnamon, nutmeg, and maybe a little honey…throw a marshmallow on top! yum!!

So many good ideas! I am really simple and just put some canned pumpkin (not pie filling, just plain pumpkin) into my oatmeal, add a little cinnamon and sweetener, and it tastes great! Very filling as well, and it's only 40 cals per 1/2 cup of pumpkin.

MAKE PUMPKIN PIE) ABOUT 150 CAL PER SLICE IF MADE WITH LOWFAT OR FAT FREE EVAPORATED MILK. CAN ALSO DECREASE THE AMT OF SUGAR. DEEP DISH FROZEN PIE CRUSTS HAVE MUCH LESS FEWER CALS THAN TRADITIONAL FROZEN CRUST. OR DONATE TO A HOMELESS SHELTER OR SOUP KITCHEN.

I still have a can of it (love it fresh or canned) from the holidays. I'm not supposed to eat it because it has a high glycemic index and I'm diabetic. If I could have it, I'd probably make pumpkin bread, but, I've been known to just eat it as a side dish or by itself.

Yeah these are awesome! I make them all the time with Spice Cake mix. Just drop them on a cookie sheet and they turn into these cake-y cookie-y muffin tops! Yum!!!

this reciepe with a few tweaks applesauce instead of oil, and splenda blend in stead of white sugar, you could probably use whole wheat flour too , i haven't tried that one yet though

So I guess I am the only weird person who just eats it out of the can?
I eat squash of all kinds as a substitute for a starch in meals at home.
