I am curious if anyone has any good pumpkin recipes that are sugar free and low carb. I know pumpkin has carbs, but I am an addict of pumpkin treats and I have a tendency to go to starbucks to buy and eat every pumpkin empanada that they have, and pumpkin scones, and pumpkin bread. I gained 25 pounds eating that stuff last fall. Pumpkin always gets me in the fall season.

I got these recipes from Debbi....

Notes:
Moist, low calorie spice cake.
Servings: 20
Ingredients:
1 box Spice Cake Mix
15 oz. can of pumpkin
½ cup water

Combine ingredients and mix well with mixer. Pour into lightly sprayed 9×13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 32-35 minutes. Cool. Cut into 20 pieces. Serve with fat-free Cool Whip. 1 point per serving.
For bundt pan, spray lightly and bake 38-40 minutes or until done. Can heat 2 Tbsp. of canned cream cheese frosting in microwave and drizzle over cake. Serves 20. I point per serving.
I like to divide batter into lightly sprayed muffin tins and bake about 20-23 minutes. This way it’s already portion ready and easy to grab for breakfast.

Hi all! You can do it, Bette Jo!

Have a great day!

Thanks Sandy for the recipes!

I planted 8 special pumpkin seeds that are guaranteed to grow humungous pumpkins, like the ones that you see at fairs. I was getting a lot of blossoms, and some baby pumpkins started to grow. I planted corn with them, and some bell peppers, some tomatoes, and some butternut squash. Well, the corn was eaten almost immediately by beetles. I didn't want to spray anything because I wanted an organic garden. The tomatoes all died, and the bell peppers were looking good, and then caterpillars got all over them. i actually got one butternut squash tho. The pumpkin vines started turning yellow and all the babies died. I was pretty sad about it. I guess I am just not the farmer! Next year I will be using bug spray I guess!!!

Check online or at a nursery about 'beneficial plants'. I alway used to plant Marigolds and Zinnias between my rows of corn... kept the pest away. And it sounds like your squash/pumpkins didn't get pollinated...? There are natural sprays you can use if you want to go organic.... like a week solution of dish detergent to keep aphids away. Sorry about your crop failure, better luck next year. In the meantime, your local grocery store should have organic produce.

has anyone heard anything from annie,everyone have a good evening

i worry about Annie, hope she is ok, can't wait to hear from her again.
hope everyone else had a good week. I maintained for the second week. I have to change something in my routine.
