What else can we do with Pumpkin??

Hey, it's Marco! This Halloween, scrap the jack-o'-lanterns and save your tricks for the kitchen! The sweet, fibrous flesh of autumn pumpkins begs to be roasted, steamed, mashed, and stewed! (Or you can always have one of my favorites, the old "pumpkin toss!) Just don't hurt anyone! Nutritionally speaking, they're hard to beat, topping the list of super foods with plenty of protein, fiber, vitamin C, potassium and beta-carotene. Plus, they're low in calories! and did i mention they are LOW in calories...(just 49 per cup!) Ooh! That's low! Pumpkins are the perfect anchor for any vegetarian meal or they can be used for a great side dish! Just don't eat them with meat! Pumpkin and steak? Er, I'm not buyin' it! And the two really wouldn't digest that well together anyway. Oh! And given that pumpkins have such a tough outer shell means that they'll stay fresh for months! So go ahead and carve away but please save a couple and eat em! And they're really great with sea salt! You ever have a pumpkin, banana protein shake? Yummy! Don't count the days, make the days count!
