Canned pumpkin... Now what?

Okay, you've stocked up on canned pumpkin; now what do you do with it.... besides make pies?! 

Here are some ideas... 

Spread it on toast! 
Mix with low-fat cream cheese and spread on whole wheat toast. Top with toasted walnuts and drizzle lightly with honey. 

Simmer it in a soup! 
Heat with low-sodium chicken broth, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, and a bit of brown sugar until thickened. Serve garnished with fresh cilantro. 

Top it on a flat bread!
Spread on a pita, sprinkle with feta or parmesan, and broil until browned in spots. Top with arugula. 

Blend it in a smoothie!
While with low-fat vanilla yogurt (or vanilla greek yogurt), ice, grated peeled fresh ginger, a few dates, and a pinch of cinnamon.
