I’m guessing some of you read the title of today’s recipe and assumed that the baby is teething again and I haven’t slept and therefore have forgotten that it is spring and not fall. I mean, pumpkin is only for fall, right?

Why is that? Don’t get me wrong, I love pumpkin in the fall just as much as everyone else, but I think its a superfood that can be eaten year around!

There are so many reasons to make pumpkin a regular part of your diet. It is an amazing source of Vitamin A and fiber.

Did you know that you can also use it to reduce the fat and calories in your recipes, like I have with these pumpkin quinoa patties?

I was able to reduce both the number of eggs used and the breadcrumbs in this recipe, simply by adding a cup of pumpkin.

You guys know that I’m not above being a “sneaky chef” with the boys. I’ve recently started stirring Pumpkin puree into macaroni and cheese and no one has even noticed.

If you use prepared sauces, stirring in pumpkin is a great way to reduce the sodium.

When I have leftover pumpkin I either freeze it to use later or save it for the next days breakfast.

It is great stirred into cooked quinoa with a little cinnamon and a touch of maple syrup. Top it with walnuts and you’ve got a great breakfast in minutes!
