    :love: I love this thread! So many amazing ideas that I'll be trying out.
    I posted a recipe for pumpkin muffins on here the other day (throw some frosting on top and they could be cupcakes) and they're reaallllyyyy tasty for anybody interested.

    So far this month I've made pumpkin muffins twice, 1 pumpkin pie, pumpkin latte and a pumpkin frappe. And I'm just getting started! Thanks for all of the ideas!

    Roasted Pumpkin and Root Veggies

    take one small/medium pumpkin, take the top off and clean out. Fill with sliced root veggies (onions, potatoes, parsnips, carrots) about 1/2 full or less. Take one package Near East rice pour in with spice pack. Pour in 2 cups water. Replace top of pumpkin, place on cookie sheet, cook at 375* (or in crockpot) a couple of hours or until all is cooked down and yummy! May need to add a little water. Awesome! Can replace Near East rice with brown rice and spices du jour!

    I make pumpkin pie without the crust and call it "souffle" (it's also fat free and sugar free) My favorite way to eat pumpkin is cooked fresh or warmed from the can...hmmm

    In two weeks, pumpkin roll will be at one of the local craft festivals! I count down the days to pumpkin roll! When I get some, my diet will just have to go out the window for one day because I LOVE it! Pumpkin and cream cheese holiness!

    Low-Fat Pumpkin Cheesecake...Num Num! I make this for Thanksgiving instead of pumpkin pie. I will also drizzle low fat caramel syrup over the slices when serving.

    I just ate some, thanks to this thread!

    Mixed in a bowl -

    1 cup canned pure pumpkin,
    2 packets splenda,
    1 tsp pie spice,
    a splash of 0-cal caramel extract.

    Warmed for about 20 secs in the microwave, poured on 1/2 cup of cold, unsweetened almond milk.

    55 calories total and it was AWESOME.
