Put More Pumpkin in Your Year
Pack your diet with extra nutritional punch! Versatile, delicious pumpkin—a powerhouse of complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamin C, and huge amounts of vitamin A—is landing on many nutritionists’ lists of “super foods.” Shouldn’t it be landing more frequently on your dinner plate too?
Take advantage of pumpkin’s health benefits all year by adding its mellow flavor and smooth texture to an exciting variety of global tastes and classic baked goods. Use canned puree in spicy Thai Pumpkin Soup; toss a handful of toasted seeds into a hearty Winter Salad with Maple Pumpkin Dressing; or savor the warm taste of fresh pumpkin in Moroccan Chicken & Pumpkin Stew. Of course the rich spicy flavor of pumpkin pie filling never fails to delight—it’s well represented here with six fresh takes on pumpkin pie, along with Pumpkin Cheesecake, Almond Pumpkin Bread Pudding, Pumpkin Panna Cotta, and Pumpkin Ginger Ice Cream.
Use it fresh or use it canned—there’s always plenty of room for pumpkin!
