ok, ok.....i guess i am basic- because i LOVVVVVVVE pumpkin.
Inspired by the eight million pumpkin products at the store today, i want to make some healthy pumpkin recipes (seriously i saw pumpkin poptarts, oreos, cereal, frosting, creamcheese, creamer......).
to get us started, here are a few favorites:
1. pumpkin pie smoothie- 1/2 cup plus ice, cream, vanilla, ginger and cinnamon, splenda
make it pumpkin cheesecake with 2oz cream cheese
2. pumpkin soup- this week i am going to make up a recipe- it will have pumpkin, creamcheese, chicken stock, garlic and will post update with what else i toss in.
3. Bru's pumpkin loaf- recipe in bread section of this forum- i use his recipe but make muffins and frost with creamcheese, to make it easier. his recipe rocks!
4. make your favorite cocoa and stir in a few spoons of pumpkin......great for halloween!
5. roast seeds with lime juice, sea salt and crushed red pepper
or roast with cinnamon and splenda
alright gang- send me your pumpkin recipes!
note: impluse buy today- found some organic pumpkin chicken sausages with just 2 carbs a link....will post review after i make them later this week
