Did you know pumpkin is one of those vegetables you can use  in a variety of recipes? Well you can! You can make several recipes that are sweet or savory.  Best of all you don’t have to limit pumpkin to just the fall season!

You can simply stir a couple of tablespoons into your foods for an added boost of fiber, Vitamin A and flavor.  I like to add it to oatmeal, muffins, smoothies, macaroni and cheese, marinara and meatloaf.  It’s great to keep canned pumpkin on hand throughout the year. Leftover pumpkin can be portioned and stored in the freezer so it ready whenever you want it.

Pumpkin is a superfood. Pumpkin adds extra fiber and Vitamin A to recipes. It’s packed with Beta Carotene. It can be used to replace the fat in some recipes and cut the amount of sodium per serving in others. When used as a replacement for butter, eggs or oil it can also reduce calories. I love to stir it into jarred sauces to reduce sodium and best of all my family never knows.  It can be incorporated in breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack and beverages – all that taste great.
