Hail To The Pumpkinnew
During the holidays, treat your sweet tooth with pumpkin gingerbread and pumpkin cheesecake. Pumpkin is low in calories, and high in potassium, beta carotene, iron, fiber, and vitamins C and E. Choose low-fat and low-sugar ingredients to lighten these recipes, and choose local and organic ingredients when you can.
