Let the pumpkin love begin! For the rest of Fall, I will try to find as many fabulous recipes for pumpkins, squashes, and root vegetables as I possibly can. Pumpkins are filled with fiber, and are an easy additive to so many foods!
Word to the wise...if you are not pureeing your own pie pumpkin (different from carving pumpkins) the canned pumpkin work just as well. But be sure you are buying pumpkin puree, and not pumpkin pie filling!

P.S. I have found a great idea for making pancakes the perfect size without the mess! Rinse out and save your ketchup squeeze bottle. Fill up with your pancake mix, and you will have no mess, and perfect control on pancake size! (Find more simple ideas on Real Simple!)
