I LOVE this pumpkin drawing so much, it's on the front cover of a vegetarian cookbook I bought in Thailand. This book inspired me to eat more pumpkins and to tell others about how great they are. We can eat almost every part of this veggie including the seeds and skin because they are full of fiber, potassium, vitamins , minerals and Beta Carotene! I found helpful info about pumpkins from NutritionExpert'sBlog. So check it out if you're interested:).
I also found so many yummy recipes for pumpkins as listed below:
- Great recipes from past years from Vegan Dad Blog.
- Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes from The Ordinary Vegetarian Blog
- Falling for Pumpkin from Bitter Sweet Blog
- Pumpkin Yumkins from Newlyweds Blog
- Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies from The Vegan Mouse
- Toasted Pumpkin Seeds from Mitten Machen
- Autumn Spice Pumpkin Cookies from The Voracious Vegan
- Pumpkin Recipes from Simply Recipes
- Pumpkin Soup from Newlyweds Blog
- Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes from Maine Food & Lifestyle
- No Ordinary Pumpkin Soup from Roses r Red
Good Morning Pumpkin Smoothie
I made this delicious pumpkin smoothie this morning (no green monster, I ran out of kale!). I got this great idea from my sister Noi and my son, Nathan keeps telling me to make it . I just need only a few ingredients for this super easy smoothie:
1 cup pumpkin puree =I used my leftovers puree from my pumpkin pie
1 1/2cups almond milk or soy milk
1 Tbsp agave syrup
1/2 cup ice
Blend together until smooth. I sprinkled ground cinnamon and nutmeg on top, Mmmmmm!!!
Pumpkin Butter
I found this pumpkin butter at Trader Joe's. I spread it over sourdough bread = speechless!!! It becomes my favorite snack now:)...YUM!
Thai Red Curry with Tofu, Broccoli and PUMPKINS
I made this spicy and dee-li-cious pumpkin red curry last week. I was dying to make it after I read the comment from Mary at Mitten Machen Blog to try it in curry sometime. I'm so glad I did it. It was so tasty and I can't wait to make it again!
During our sight-seeing tour in the north of Thailand, we stopped at a restaurant for lunch. They served very tasty Thai food, I often noticed that they used a lot of pumpkins in different dishes such as stir-fry, curry and some desserts. This was the only picture I got.Pumpkin Custard
A couple weeks ago, I had a nice reunion dinner with my relatives at my house. My cousin brought this oh sooo good pumpkin custard. It is a typical Thai dessert that I seldom find in the U.S. So I was so happy to get to have the leftovers, lucky me = YUM!!!
Pumpkin is my favourite vegatable too! It tastes great with just about anything. Although ive never heard of a pumpkin smoothie :) Im going to check out some of those pumpkin recipes!
ReplyDeleteThe mixed veg stir fry you had looks delicious. Do you know i still cant eat tofu, i dont know what it is about it that i dont like, the only way i have it is tofu french toast.
That pumpkin custard looks amazing, ive never heard of such a thing, but would be happy to try it! :)

ReplyDeleteIndeed, for the love of pumpkins! Thanks for including me in your pumpkin spread.
ReplyDeleteI will be out of kale tomorrow so on Thursday I'll have to try the pumpkin smoothie as well, EXCITING! I also recently bought TJ's Pumpkin Butter but I haven't had the chance to try it yet. Can't wait!
I looove pumpkin. I am so excited that it's pumpkin season again. I don't normally like smoothies, but I know I would have loved your pumpkin smoothie. That was a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love pumpkin-anything! That drawing is adorable!
ReplyDeleteLucky you, you're eating so much pumpkin! I'm glad you liked the curry--I find the pumpkin tastes so sweet when paired with spicy or rich ingredients. Your smoothie sounds delicious, and I have lots of pumpkin puree. I think I'll try it with vegan ice cream and make it a milkshake, waistline be damned!
ReplyDeleteHello again, yes the kangaroos were fighting (not hugging), not for long though. When i was younger one of them actually fought with my dad over my brothers pram to try and get to the food we had.
ReplyDeleteAnd thankyou, the jelly cakes were yummy :) deffinately something different to the normal cupcake.
