Pumpkin! Doesn't everybody love pumpkin in the fall? We usually associate it with treats and sweets, but it can be added to savory dishes as well, like these crockpot enchiladas that I want to try. 

If you're like me, and love sweets but try to make things that are on the healthy end of the spectrum, here are a couple of my favorite pumpkin recipes. Pumpkin Protein Snack Bars are a healthified version of a very high-calorie cake I had at work one day. This one has only 150 calories, and 8 grams of protein per serving. 

For an old standby, there's nothing better than Pumpkin Custard, which is just pumpkin pie filling without the crust. I know, the crust is REALLY GOOD, but for 100 calories, I can enjoy a hint of pumpkin pie :)  If its still warm where you are, this same recipe has instructions for making  the custard into a pumpkin protein smoothie!

Stay warm and eat pumpkin!
