Hi everyone. I have 3 medium sized pumpkins and one small one. I am looking for some ideas of something to make for using my fresh pumpkins. I am not looking for desert type recipes for breads, pies, muffins or cookies. I am looking for something vegetarian friendly (or could be adapted for a vegetarian) and is a meal. In the past I have made a pumpkin bowl but I am getting tired of my old standard. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

    Look up recipes for butternut squash. You can substitute pumpkin. I love butternut squash soup.

    If you enjoy sweets, try this vegan, sugar free and fat free chocolate cake, delish!!! It makes one serving of 140 calories with stevia and without icing. It is quick and very satisfying:)

    2 Tbsp cocoa or carob powder
    1 Tbsp flax meal
    2 Tbsp flour (I use spelt flour but any will do)
    1/4 tsp baking pdr
    1/8 tsp sea salt
    2 tsp stevia (or sweetener of your choice)
    3 tsp pumpkin puree
    3 tbsp milk (I use coconut)
    1/2 tsp vanilla

    Mix all ingredients in a mug or ramekin and microwave 40-50 seconds.

    I also top with 1 tbsp of this delicious icing:

    1/4 C nut butter
    4-8 tsp maple syrup (I use stevia, a few drops)
    2 Tbsp cocoa
    4 tsp milk 3/4 tsp vanilla

    I use pumpkin to replace fat in all of my baking or where applesauce is called for. It's delicious, nutritious and gives everything a unique flavour.
