Hey there foodie friends,

I hope you are all doing well.  So, I was contacted by this company that has some very interesting information in regards to eating Pumpkin.  Read on if you are a Pumpkin Lover and don’t forget to press the Link below!! 🙂

Many of us are looking for creative ways to improve our health through simple changes that don’t involve throwing out the pantry and starting over, or diving into a workout routine that consumes every spare minute. Luckily there are cooking choices and ingredient swaps that rely on easy-to-find ingredients to boost the health and nutrient level of even the most beloved dishes. One thing to take another look at? Pumpkin.
   

You’ll find pumpkin, of course, in a can, and you might not use it very much until autumn or Thanksgiving when some classic baking such as pumpkin pie rolls around. But pumpkin can be a much more flexible option that lends richness and texture to a variety of recipes.

 

It’s a source of natural sugar, not processed, and supplies a number of necessary minerals and vitamins for a more healthful diet. What are some of the ways to improve recipes with pumpkin? This graphic has some options.

Have a great day!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
