I don't know about ya'll, but I LOVE pumpkin. Found this recipe on the LiveFit facebook page and it sounds delish, thought I would pass along! (From the facebook post, I guess it ran in FitnessRx magazine...NOT my own recipe!)


Quick Pumpkin Pie Mousse -

109 Cal, 3.5g protein, carbs 7.3g, Fat 4.3g, cholesterol 12 mg, sodium 349

1 1/2 C cold skim milk
1 pkg. (1 oz) sugar free fat free instant butterscotch pudding mix
1/2 c canned pure pumpkin
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1 C sugar free heavy whipped cream

In large bowl, whisk millk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft set. Combine the pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom; fold into pudding. Fold in 1/2 cup whipped cream. Divide evenly between 4 dishes, like small wine or parfait glasses. Refrigerate until serving. Top with dollop of whipped cream (1/2 c total).

I haven't tried it out, so I don't know how it tastes, but tis the season for pumpkin!!!! =)

    My new obsession:

    1 container of Kroger Carbmaster Vanilla Yogurt
    1/3c Pumpkin Puree (from a can) - sometimes I go up to a 1/2c
    Pumpkin Pie Spice to taste.

    Stir together. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    For some reason I can only eat pumpkin in autumn... That being said, I'm so excited that autumn is just around the corner so that I can bust out the pumpkin recipes. Can't wait to see what others post!!!

    1tsp ground cinnamon
    1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
    1/4tsp ground ginger
    1/8 tsp ground cloves.

    Trader Joe's has pumpkin-flavored nonfat greek yogurt. And I have a pumpkin sitting in my kitchen waiting for me to find my stuffed pumpkin recipe.

    And on a slightly related note, I've noticed that hubbard squash is much more popular this year - I see it in supermarkets. I LOVE hubbard squash. It's possibly even tastier than pumpkin.

    Instead of having to have all the different spices in your cupboard ...... McCormack has mixed them all together & put them in one package

    It's the combination used from the Libby's Pumpkin Pie recipe .... off the top of my head

    ...... recipe already posted above.... thanks daisy!

    PUMPKIN ANGEL FOOD CAKE
    Ingredients
    1 cup canned pumpkin
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
    1 package (16 ounces) angel food cake mix
    14 tablespoons reduced-fat whipped topping
    Additional ground cinnamon, optional
    Directions
    In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Fold a fourth of the batter into pumpkin mixture; gently fold in the remaining batter. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets.

    Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 38-44 minutes or until top is golden brown and cake springs back when lightly touched and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.

    Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Garnish each slice with 1 tablespoon whipped topping; sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Yield: 14 servings.
