    Pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin smoothies, mixed w/ yogurt, mixed w/ oatmeal, and you can replace some of the oil with it in muffin and cake recipes.

    I mix mine (not homemade) into some cottage cheese, with stevia and cinnamon, maybe a few raisins and it tastes like pumpkin cheesecake.

    I had something similar this morning:

    Very filling, and quite tasty. I'm sure with the homemade pumpkin puree it'd be even tastier :)

    Pumpkin quinoa "risotto." Mix the puree into some chicken stock and bring it to a simmer. Then proceed like regular risotto - sautee onion, then add the quinoa, then white wine, then 3 additions of the pumpkin stock. Finish with butter and parmesan.

    They can also be baked in cookie form this way. My 8 year old gobbles them up!

    Pumpkin soup! Use low fat half and half, chicken stock, pureed carrots, celery, and onions as a base. Some pumpkin pie spice too.

    You can also make egg roll "plum sauce". I have a recipe I can share with you later.

    low fat half and half

    Isn't that just... milk?

    I have a secret for low fat creamy stuff: low-fat or fat-free evaporated milk. Works just like cream.
