Pumpkin Yogurt
"This recipe was inspired by my attempt to increase the amount of pumpkin in my diet. I have started reading SuperFoods RX by Steven Pratt (which I highly recommend) and am learning about all of the nutritional benefits pumpkin has to offer. The challenge is that I am used to eating pumpkin in nothing but pies/cookies/sweet breads etc. I decided to try a pumpkin yogurt because yogurt is also one of Pratt's 14 super foods."

yummy. i think i'll try it with plain yogurt instead of vanilla next time - a little too sweet for yogurt with the vanilla. -
This is pumpkin, toned down a bit and sweetened, with the added benefit of healthy yogurt. I made this for a late night snack and it was perfect. I will probably use the leftover pumpkin to make pumpkin muffins tomorrow. -
Very good! My kids enjoyed this too. The flavor was very good without being too healthy or overpowering. I left out the nutmeg because I don't like it and I put in at least twice the amount of cinnamon, because I love it!

I've lived in Seattle for the last 6 years, 4 of which I was a student at the University of Washington. I've worked at Amazon.com since practically the day I graduated and am in my 3rd position here. My job is fun and challenging however, I will admit that whenever I need a brain break my fingers always find there way to recipezaar.com. I love to cook (needless to say), run, read, hang out with my friends, and anything that involves being outside on a sunny day. I have a definite passion for nutrition. I think that having a working knowledge of how your body uses food (and which foods are best) is one of the most powerful things in life. I plan on being here for a long time and need a healthy body to do it!
