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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
