 | It's that time of year when pumpkins are everywhere - at the market, in people's yards, and at the schools. Happily, pumpkins are great friend for low-carbers because they are packed with nutrients, but the carbs are lower than many other squashes. I like to keep a few cans around all year long for quick soups. Have a lovely fall weekend! Laura |
