Left-over Canned Pumpkin--what to do???

feed it to your dogs if you have any, it is supposed to be really good for them!

Nope, just cats.

It's also really yummy mixed into sugar-free pudding mix and some fat-free cool whip. There's a recipe somewhere on this site, but it's from a few years ago.

Yes! I did buy some butterscotch pudding for it yesterday.

I made Pancake Batter and mashed in the leftover Sweet potatoes. Then reduced down the cranberries for the syrup.

I didn't have any, but my wife and sister-in-law said it was great. Bet you could do the same thing with leftover pumpkin.

Great idea!

Buy yourself a spice cake box mix and a bag of chocolate chips.

Preheat your oven to 350°. Mix your left over pumpkin with the dry cake mix, when the dough is moist, add in the chocolate chips. Spoon the dough onto a greased cookie sheet (or a stone) and place in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies come out super soft, so carefuly place them on a cooling rack. Enjoy!

This sounds like a delicious dessert, but I'd end up eating all of them and then I'd probably wish I'd just thrown the rest of the pumpkin out because it would have saved me so many empty calories.

Update: I mixed 1/2 cup of the canned pumpkin with a butterscotch pudding snack pack and some cinnamon for a mid morning snack and it is deeeeeelicious!

Hello my friend Diane. Please take this in the spirit in which it is intended. In love and gentle suggestion.

Any time you try to fool the body by using sugar free-but-still-sweet things like cool whip and pudding, you are sabatoging your success.

We know that sugar is bad. But if you don't train yourself to not crave that sweet flavor, then you will always be a slave to sugar. The fake sugars are bad, too. It is so much easier to just stop with the artificially sweetened items. Stick with whole foods, unsweetened and unsalted.

I know you mean well, thank you for the reminder. On a side note, my pudding was not sugar free. 60 cals for the sugar free and 3g of fat (and in my opinion, tastes just okay) and 110 for the real deal, same amt of fat and tastes super yummy. Yes the sugar content is much different, but either way it is bad for me. So with that said I chose the tastier of the 2 evils. I know my pudding is not a healthy food item. But I hear you, I know what you're saying about the sugar/sugar subs. I do know, but I also know doing and knowing are so very different and I need to turn my education into action. However, I am happy to report that my processed food intake is extremely much less than it was a year ago and for that I feel successful. It gets better and better every month I think. I learn new recipes and substitutions that allow me to get away from the processed "junk". I have also severely decreased my sugar sub intake as well over the last year. This has been mostly from eliminating things from my diet that I don't feel the need for, like soda. Maybe that was a little long-winded for a simple "thanks for the reminder", but now you know where I'm at in that regards. I have tried to eliminate sugar completely, but that is not realistic for me. Plus I turn into a monster. Maybe in time I can re-evaluate that aspect, but for now I can't go to that extreme. I have found that when I try to go cold turkey it makes the cravings worse. I went cold turkey for 2 months once and it was horrible.
