It's Pumpkin Season! Hurray!

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 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

Don't limit yourself to desserts when it comes to pumpkin - try this easy skillet meal -- slightly spicy.  Try to find raw pumpkin already cut up, as they do at my local market, and Trader Joe's.
