Re: Anything with pumpkin?

You can use pumpkin as a sweet potato substitute. So for "mashed faux sweet potatoes", you'll need pumkin puree, butter, heavy cream (if you want it), salt, and pepper. If you are using canned pumpkin puree, you will want to heat it on the stove,stirring constantly to help remove some of the liquid (and of course to heat it up). This is awfully good as a side dish for roast turkey.

If you are using fresh pumkin, you can alot!

1. Slice the pumpkin, rub the slices with butter, salt and alittle cinnamon and roast in the oven until soft and golden browned---great side dish for meats.

2. Peel and thinly slice the pumpkin and follow any scalloped potato recipe for a nice scalloped "sweet potato" dish.

3. Peel and slice the pumpkin into "fries" and fry them or bake them. They are similar to sweet potato fries cooked this way.

4. Pumpkin chips: If you go to the Snacks forum, you'll see a recipe for Induction Friendly Snack chips. That recipe uses celeriac, but you can follow the instructions and make pumpkin chips instead.

5.Peel and slice into cubes and add the cubes to stews.

Basically, you can substitute pumpkin for most potato and sweet potato dishes. Enjoy experimenting with it.

WARNING that recipe in the second post isn't for induction with the nuts in the crust, but you could go crustless. remember to count the cheese and the sweetners in your daily limit too. And FYI sour cream is one of those foods in the induction lists that has a warning about it might stop your weight loss so use with care.


you can make induction friendly pumpkin fudge with 1/4 cup of pumpkin 1 ounce of cream cheese (counts in your 4 ounce cheese total for the day) some pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon to taste (I use about 1/4 t in mine)

soften the cream cheeses mix in the spice and pumpkin. eat warm or cold you can spread it like butter on induction bread or fill omlettes too. I love it on flac hot cakes and on just a spoon.

if cream cheese doesn't taste sweet to you you will need one of your 3 sweeteners allowed a day to sweeten the mixture for you.

you can add 1/4 cup of pumpkin to the mock danish recipe too.

Also try baked Japanese Pumpkin, the are green instead of orange on the outside. OMG they are sooooo good, and Induction friendly. You can bake slices with butter, and they just melt in your mouth
