Pumpkin recipes



Recommended Posts

Beings fall is nearly upon us, I was wondering if anyone could suggest some delicious pumpkin recipes?

I have a pumpkin cookie recipe from "before" but its got a ton of butter in it so that's OUT.

I found a no-crust pumpkin pie - I bet adding some Protein powder to it would make for a perfect Thanksgiving dessert.

Okay, what'cha got? I'll be needing my pumpkin fix as soon as the weather changes and the leaves start to fall. It's a must in my book.

Cut up a fresh pumpkin in quarters and reserve the seeds. Wrap in plastic wrap and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes until soft. Let it cool and scrape it out of the shell. You can now do several things: Soup, crustless pie, soufflé .

Soup:

1 quart vegetable or chicken broth

1tsp dried sage

1/2 onion minced

1 tbl olive oil

1 tsp dried thyme

1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped

Pumpkin you just cooked or 1 can unsweetened pumpkin

Salt and pepper to taste

Sauté the onion until transparent. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer until the apple is soft. Use a blender or immersion blender to purée the Soup. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.

I bought a box of pumpkin coffee K-cups from Dunkin Donuts. We have a Keurig coffee maker at work. I thought it would be nice to have a pumpkin latte once in a while.

I posted a sweet potato Protein pie recipe here a few weeks ago that could easily be adapted for pumpkin.< /p>

Also, when I was experimenting with ideas before surgery, I blended pumpkin puree with cottage cheese & pumpkin pie spice & some maple Syrup in the food processor. It was yummy, sort of like pumpkin cheesecake.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
