    Protein Pumpkin Pie

    412 Grams Pumpkin
    11 Tbsp. Egg Whites
    .5 Cup Almond Milk
    2 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
    2 Tsp. Vanilla
    1 Scoop Whey Protein
    Sweetener of choice

    Mix and Bake.

    When I make it comes out to around 421 calories with 47C/11F/3F/51P for the entire pie! It's really good with Reddi Whip AND Ice Cream. :)

    For savory dishes, you can use pumpkin like almost any other winter squash, or like sweet potato. That's an easy way to reduce calories vs sweet dishes, since there's no or very little sugar. Roasting is good, or pasta sauce, or in curry or soup...

    Any savory, not sweet recipes? I saw once for a tomato-pumpkin bisque that I adapted to make tomato-sweet potato soup, but I haven't actually tried it with pumpkin. May have to -- I have a giant can I need to use.

    And believe it or not, the tomato-sweet potato soup IS a hit at potlucks. Tastes better than it might sound. The sweet potato is just sweet enough to take the place of the sugar you usually have to add to tomato soup. I also add red lentils sometimes.

    This pumpkin chili is the bomb!

    Oh, that DOES sound good. I buy grass-fed beef by the half-cow and am just waiting until this year's is ready for delivery. I'll try this as soon as I get it. Thanks!

    Sorry I guess that would help. 375 for about 35 minutes. Toothpick test works great on this one!

    Simple pumpkin brownies:

    Family sized box of brownie mix
    Regular sized can of pumpkin purée
    1/2 cup water.

    Mix with a spoon and pour it all into a pan lined with foil. Bake according to the Instructions. The texture is different, but very popular in my house and with the neighborhood kids. I use a pan on the smaller side so that they are thick.

    Bake lightly greased pumpkin slices at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, flip halfway through until soft. Mash and add to oatmeal with maple syrup and tons of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spices for a yummy breakfast every day! :D Leftovers can be refrigerated and it also freezes well. :)

    i suck at recipes but the pumpkin (or sweet potato)+ coconut milk + curry + chilies is one of my favorite combos in LIFE

    add some other veggies like green beans, carrot, etc and enjoy
