    I like to mix libby canned pumpkin into all kinds of stuff. Add it to cake mix or pancakes, mix it into puddings, and drop a dollop in your chili or stew for a very subtle fall flavor.
    I especially like to make it according to the can (low fat substitutes and splenda) add cinnamon microwave in a bowl and top with 2 tbsp of Cool whip lite. Omg.... so good. And if you have spare calories that day try eating it with a couple of gram crackers crumbled on top - enjoy the taste of the pie and it never shows up on your thighs!!!

    Also, if you're carving this year be sure to scoop out those seeds, rinse them off and bake them!!! I drizzle with a tiny bit of honey and then sprinkle with red chili flakes - makes a super sweet and spicy snack! (I do the same with almonds).

    HAPPY EATING!

    My FAVORITE pumpkin recipe is one that I got from Weight Watchers and have been eating it for like the last 2 weeks (until the store ran out of pumpkin)

    Pumpkin Fluff (already in the database too!)

    1 (160z) can of pumpkin filling
    1 container of fat-free Cool Whip
    1 package of instant fat-free Vanilla, or Butterscotch, or Cheesecake, or Banana Cream (whatever you want)
    OPTIONAL: some milk to thin it out a bit, nutmeg, cinnamon (whatever spices you want)

    Directions:

    Thaw out Cool Whip for a bit, then mix pumpkin, cool whip and pudding together.
    THAT'S IT!

    (what I like to do is just mix it and then put it back into the cool whip container. It usually fits perfectly!)

    Did you know that you can substitute a can of pumpkin for the oil & eggs in a chocolate cake. It cuts calories & adds protein, but it does not make the cake taste like pumpkin... :)

    It also really bumps up the fiber :laugh:

    I have been completely hooked on canned pumpkin recently.

    I put a can of pumpkin in a bowl, add Splenda, pumpkin pie spice, extra cinnamon (there's already some in the spice mix), a sprinkle of fat free sugar free vanilla pudding mix, a half cup of old fashioned oats, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a splash of unsweetened Almond Breeze. I mix it up and microwave it for a few minutes until the oats are softened and the aroma engulfs my kitchen.. I ate it for dinner tonight and my stomach is so happy. :)

    why canned!??? fresh is so much more awesome & healthy!
    I baked a small pumpkin last week, used half of it for an awesomely delicious cream of pumpkin soup (chopped up celery, onion, leek, apple, a TON of fresh rosemary, bio vegetable cube, water, - boil all this, add cubed baked pumpkin boil again, then blend. its sooooooo yum)
    last night i cubed the other half of the pumpkin and heated it on coconut oil, with green pepper and curry sauce. and more fresh rosemary. by the end of a small bowl i was so full i couldn't eat anything else for the rest of the day and according to the food diary this only cost me about 200 calories.

    GOOOOO PUMPKIN
