She Done It

IMG_8570Blog

4 pounds of pumpkin, gobbled!!

Pumpkin

Pumpkin Party

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Pumpkin Graham Smoothie

Pumpkin Scottish Oats

Biscoff Pumpkin Smoothie

Gourdeous Pumpkin Pancakes

Pumpkin Muffin Pumpkin Oats

Pumpkin Pancakes

Pumpkin Pile Cereal

Carrot Raisin Muffin Pumpkin Oats

They were all delicious!!

I didn’t end up freezing any because I managed to eat it all within 10 days. To keep it fresh I always used a clean spoon to dip and was careful not to contaminate with food particles and kept it covered in the fridge.

When I open the next can – 6 pounds for eating this time – I’m going to freeze half right away.

Today I made simple pumpkin oats – 1/3 cup rolled oats made with milk, water, chia and banana with the rest of my pumpkin stirred in [probably a heaping half cup!! Good thing I love it plain!]. I also added a pinch each of cinnamon, allspice and ground cloves.

    Pumpkin deliciousness!
    You’ll have to try some savory meals with your next round of pumpkin… last week I made a spicy pumpkin soup (reminiscent of a soup we ate in Jamaica last year); and last night I made a pizza using pureed pumpkin as my sauce. Amazing!
    (I might be turning Snooki-colored soon, I fear… )

    Great post dedicated to one of the best foods in the world! You should be proud of your pumpkin consuming talents. 🙂 I love plain pureed pumpkin too, and end up eating several spoonfuls every time I cook or bake with it.
    I made an awesome pumpkin chili yesterday (recipe posted last night) that could easily use pumpkin puree instead of chunks of roasted pumpkin. That would get you through about 1/15 of your next can… 🙂

    Kath – you inspired me to try pumpkin in my morning oat bran cereal – delicious! Our local market has the beautiful small pie pumpkins in abundance this year. I roast them whole for about 1.5 hours in the oven and once cool, puree the flesh & freeze in 1 cup portions perfect for muffins or pies. The taste is a little milder than the canned pumpkin, but I love that I’m eating locally grown produce. I’m hooked on pumpkin and your recipes are an inspiration! Thanks!

    I am curious, why canned pumpkin? Most cans are lined with BPA which leeches into the food. Also most canned foods have unnecessary additives and, in my opinion, often taste off due to the processing. This is the time of year when real pumpkins are in season, and organic ones are often available, why not roast a few?

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      October 11, 2011 at 4:54 pm

      No reason other than I am lazy and canned is just so easy. The BPA is a bit of a concern, but the ingredients are just pumpkin

    Oh girl, you are not lazy. But I do get that canned pumpkin is easier, not to mention less messy. But, what about the pumpkins seeds in a pumpkin? Roasted, they are a tasty snack and perhaps a good oatmeal topper….

    OK. Those stuffed pumpkins look amazing! Newish reader here, found your blog this spring. I think someone on that post suggested sugar pie pumpkins, I second that. You won’t be disappointed if you try one. They tend to have more of a squat shape, like the pumpkin Cinderella takes to the ball, and a darker orange.
