Fall Recipe and Running- Pumpkin, Anyone?

One of the best things about fall is the long sleeve with shorts weather, and jackets.  I LOVE JACKETS!  I can't help it.  And I love love love pumpkin flavored stuff.  I make pumpkin oatmeal, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin spice tea, and this little pumpkin pie in a bowl.  I get excited because pumpkin comes in a can, is loaded with vitamins, minerals and our friend, fiber.  You do want allspice, and/or cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice your sweetener of choice, I choose all 3.  I like to make a batch of this and divide it into 4 plastic bowls with screw-on lids so I can just microwave it and go.  BUt honestly, I eat it cold all the time.  Its DELICIOUS!  If you are a regular reader, you've probably seen this recipe before.

QUICK Pumpkin Pie in a Bowl

1 cup pumpkin
3/4 cup 2% cottage cheese or greek yogurt - the CC makes it melty and gooey so I choose CC
spices and sweetener.

Nuke for 1 minute in the microwave and stir.
If the cottage cheese doesn't melt and the lumps bother you then you can keep cooking until they do or put this all in a blender first and blend it smooth.

Other options:
Mix in a few almonds, pecans, and/or a sprinkle of oats.

Approximately 200 calories of yummy warm comfort food with around 25 grams of protein and over 5 grams of fiber.  GOOD STUFF!
ENJOY!

Its all in your head!
