I tried my first Zumba class last Monday and it was awesome! So much fun. My routine is always switching too though, I completely understand. Love the pumpkin bowl! Itself and the actual picture. Both are calling my name… :)

what a bummer you didn’t like the yogurt…i love that fiber-y texture and the creaminess! pumpkin is great in oats too, though, and with some peanut butter you can’t even taste the pumpkin (if you wanted a different flavor…)

hey!
i heard you can put canned pumpkin in with chocolate cake mix instead of using eggs and oil. maybe you can whip up some yummy chocolate cupcakes?
i’m with you – i like pumpkin, but CANNOT have too much of it. get sick of it easily. it’s a very rich food.
but pumpkin granola bars by kashi ROCK! (crunchy pumpkin spice and fruit & grain pumpkin pie. soooo good.)

I’ve tried making pumpkin yogurt too and was also disappointed :(

That toast looks like it was tasty, though! :)

Pumpkin pancakes are delicious…topped with toasted pecans – mmm! My mom has a no-fail pumpkin muffin recipe, so I may be making those.

I’ve always used baby spinach in my GMs, but think regular spinach would be just fine : ) Give it a try!

Hi Hillary! I blogged some pumpkin pancakes a few weeks ago, and they were lip-smackin’ delicious, so feel free to try those out! Or you could make muffins – pumpkin would be great to keep them nice and moist.

Quick question – Do you use baby spinach or regular spinach in your green monsters? I am *this close* to trying my first ever green monster, and didn’t know if I should go out and get baby spinach, or if I can just use the regular spinach in my fridge. THANKS! :)

Good point. I did add a drizzle of agave for sweetness, but the texture was still off.

Hey girl! Maybe you were supposed to add the sweetened/spiced canned pumpkin instead of plain. I’m not sure if the recipe specified what type of pumpkin. I know around Thanksgiving/Christmas the stores carry the sweetened/spiced kind because that is what you use to make pumpkin pie etc., but not sure if the stores carry it now. It probably would have tasted better with that instead of plain for sure! :-)
