Pumpkin seeds are also good for you and they combine a great combination of vitamins and ingredients in them. Pumpkin seeds look like flat and green seeds with some weird husk shell on them. Ok, lets get to the point, the nutrients in raw organic pumpkin seeds are:
- Vitamin K
- Protein
- Zinc
- Copper
- Iron
- Tryptophan

I'm so sad that I used my last box of Jell-O Pumpkin Spice Instant Pudding & Pie Filling mix in this recipe...because I want to make MORE!! :)These brownies turned out so good. They're moist and chocolaty...and I just absolutely love the flavor combination of chocolate and pumpkin.I'll have to check to see if this pudding mix is available online, because I've already searched our stores here

From The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game. So I think I've done some of the more well-known fantasy foods, all of which have been sweet, so now it's time to change it up a bit and do a more obscure and savory dish. This one appeared in the newest Zelda game, Twilight Princess, in the Snowpeak temple as a soup that Yeto makes for his sick wife, Yeta. The soup, th
A week or so ago, Scott, from the cool CoMo blog Show-Me Eats, posted a recipe for Pumpkin Gnocchi that he and his son made. Both Brett and I absolutely love gnocchi, but the few times I have tried to make it, the result has been disaster. So I gave up really, we occasionally buy Rising Moon Organic's garlic and herb gnocchi, but it just isn't the same as homemade gnocchi, not to mention, I can ge
For my second (and quite successful) baking adventure last weekend, I wanted to make something that was a spiced cake with some sort of frosting that was at least reminiscent of a cream cheese frosting. I was originally thinking along the carrot cake line, but when I got in the freezer to take out some pumpkin puree to make Pumpkin-Walnut bread for our annual work holiday party earlier this week,

I am really growing to like pumpkin. When I was looking at recipes for cookie ideas, I also had a local pumpkin roasting in the oven, so when I came across a few pumpkin cookie recipes, it seemed like a good thing to try.(A side note about pumpkins (and winter squash in general): I am glad they are so forgiving. I got this pumpkin from The Root Cellar a few weeks ago and just got around to roastin
We spent the morning at Ashcombe nursery which has a great fall setup including hayrides, hayslides, pumpkin picking and face painting. Lily was so picky about her pumpkin. It had to be small enough for her to carry.
Our art association had a plein air outing at a local pumpkin farm. The farm has train rides, animals, vintage machinery and lots of things for children. There are also two major pumpkin patches from which customers can pick out their favorite pumpkin and take home to carve. We artists sat around and painted on a beautiful, mild day in mid-October. I did the major drawing on site then completed t

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I am a bit beat from my weekend, but I had a lot of fun nonetheless. I am working on a baking project, whose purpose will be revealed at a later time, so my weekends have been filled with quite a bit of baking (and dishes too of course). This weekend my focus was cookies! I made a few different kinds and they all turned out wonderfully. I'm not sure if I wi

I posted a recipe for a vegan pumpkin pie a while back. I have been looking forward to baking this for some time and was very excited this past weekend when I finally made time for it. I am a big fan of pies and cakes. Also, I am always intrigued by vegan food and the many things you can do with tofu. I have made tofu cheesecakes in the past (Blueberry tofu cheesecake and Blackberry vegan tofu ch
Cucurbita maxima (pumpkin) is believed to have originated in South America, while the other species became differentiated in the southern U.S.A, Mexico and Central America. Pumpkins are now grown all over the world with the exception of Antarctica.

You cannot have Thanksgiving dinner without the dessert... which for me is the traditional pumpkin pie with real whipping cream. I do not and will not use cool whip or aerosol whip, I always whip my own for pumpkin pie. With this recipe, it is a little bit richer made with sweetened condensed milk rather than evaporated milk, which is what I did here. Give the top of the pie a shake of nutmeg

As I mentioned, I'll be working on recipes for you to use this Thanksgiving. This one is not one of your grandma's recipes. It may seem a little out there and I won't lie, I was nervous making it, thinking, what if this is crap? I don't know where this idea even came from.

I love pumpkin pie but I also like to find different types to make. Have you started to think about your Thanksgiving menu yet? Most people want a simple and traditional menu so you can not get too creative with dinner. You can get creative with dessert though. This pumpkin pie is wonderful. Pumpkin cheesecake is a perfect combination and the gingersnap and pecan crust is the perfect compliment.
I imported the idea of adding pumpkin in a biscotti from Prudy's dark chocolate dipped pumpkin biscotti.I was keen about creating a conjoined biscotti ,but was very indecisive about binding a biscotti with 2 different flavors,unsure if the logs would attach without any binder.But to my amazement the two logs with my favorite flavors of chocolate and pumpkin attached firmly.

I made these pumpkin cheesecake muffins this weekend. I used crushed almonds instead of pecans though. The first time, I accidentally mixed the muffin mix into the cheesecake mix. Oops! You're suppose to spoon the cheesecake mixture into the center of the pumpkin muffin batter. Batch 2 came out right. LOL. They're very yummy! FILLING1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened1 large egg2 tablespoons
These Pumpkin Muffins have lots of ingredients to please all sorts of taste buds: the crunch of the pecans and sunflower seeds, the soft chew of the raisins, and the spice from the cinnamon/ginger/nutmeg/allspice blend. Although the ingredient list is long, it only requires two bowls: one for the dry ingredients and the other for all the rest, and it goes together fast. These muffins are inspired
My friend Becky has never tasted pumpkin. Not one Thanksgiving pie. Not one muffin or fresh-baked bread.

Before I get to the Ricotta-Pumpkin dessert recipe, I wanted to first talk briefly about fat free ricotta cheese. If you've never tried ricotta cheese - you should totally check it out. It is great as a topping on pasta, in omelets, in quesadillas, fajitas, various desserts, as well as on some Indian dishes. The consistency is somewhere between cottage cheese (it is chunky) and regular cheese (it

Katie Holmes and her adorable toddler Suri geared up for Halloween yesterday by wearing the same orange, pumpkin-coloured outfits.

Some of you might be carving pumpkins around this time of year. It's not really my favorite activity, what with the pumpkin guts and scraping and all, but the gremlins insist on cutting pumpkin flesh into various faces, so I must participate.
However, I found a recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds in this book, and it is the one flicker of light in an otherwise disgusting task.

I have wanted to try pumpkin again for awhile, but I've been a little tentative. Both Brett and I hate pie - pumpkin pie especially. I do not like anything about pie crust - I just don't, and thankfully, Brett doesn't either. Pumpkin pie filling also isn't really my cup of tea - it is something about the texture of the filling. Anyways, with my love of all other winter squash, and the fact that I
