    Pumpkin is the bomb, health wise! I like to add a 1/3 cup or so to my oatmeal. You can also make healthy pumpkin pancakes. You can also sneak it into soups, casseroles and stuff to add more veggies to something and not even notice that it's there. It just adds a richness and all the added health benefits.

    Our favorite new bread is Pumpkin Banana Bread - http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/10/pumpkin-banana-bread.html . It is delicious and smells amazing! I had a can of pumpkin leftover from the holidays so what I did is get a bunch of freezer bags and put 1/2 cup in each one - then all of them in another freezer bag. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup so all I need to do is defrost the pumpkin when I'm ready to make a loaf. I'm learning to freeze a lot of stuff right now. LOL But pumpkin seems to freeze really well. This last batch turned out fantastic and it was from some of the frozen stuff.

    Pumpkin soup!!! Saute onions, carrots, add organic chicken stock, pumkin spices and pumkin-bring to a boil and set aside-add a little evaporated milk or cream. Taste for salt and pepper-I add a little hot sauce, then either use an immersion blender or blend it in a blender till smooth. Delish!

    I just calculated the Weight Watchers points for the pumpkin risotto. 7 points per serving. I will save the recipe in my recipe box on all recipes website and try it at some point. It sounds very interesting.

    I laughed because I did the same thing to myself, organic and all! In the spirit of eating good food in moderation, I suggest pumpkin chocolate-chip bread, and pumpkin ice cream. :-)

    If you have protein shakes toss it in. Feed it to your dog.

    I make a pumpkin smoothie that, to me, tastes like a pumpkin pie shake! Here's what I use in it:

    1/2 cup pumpkin
    1/2 banana (frozen or not)
    1/2 4oz carton of honey flavored nonfat Greek yogurt
    About a tablespoon of agave nectar or honey
    Ice if your banana wasn't frozen
    Splash of almond milk if it needs thinned
    Good dash of cinnamon

    Give all this a go in the blender. So. Good. I've added a little splenda for extra sweetness and some ginger before too.

    I made a killer pumpkin chili a couple of months ago...still have one bag of it in the freezer, I think I'll go dig that out now! It was basically a ground beef and two bean chili with a can of pumpkin, and you add just a bit of pie spice. good stuff!
