I am a pumpkin junkie, tonight we ate pumpkin pancakes, made by my son. I don’t think there is anything Pumpkin I won’t eat.
Have you seen these pumpkin recipes?
I was visiting another blog I enjoy Simply Sugar and Gluten Free and saw this recipe for Pumpkin spice shake. I have adapted it into a protein shake below.

I am a baker, I think about it all the time, coming up with new desserts, that is, while spending time with my 3 children. Two of them help me in the kitchen. The oldest doesn't think it's the cool thing to do. I also teach private health and wellness classes including gluten free baking. I like to read and work out in the garden. I finished culinary school a few years ago and volunteer at our church and school. I am busy, busy, busy, but love every minute of it. 
I would like the pumpkin pancake recipe please!

I will do a write up and send it out.
I made sure to buy 2 boxes of Trader Joe's pumpkin pancake/waffle mix since it is seasonal and we don't have a store near us, yet. I want to try the smoothie, but can't eat bananas (ridiculous), which tends to cramp a lot of smoothie stylings! I'll wing it though! Our dog LOVES pumpkin too, so we'll share a can!
Great, just don't use the bananas. They are for fiber. You can substitute.
sounds pretty good!

Me too. I am finding so many uses, I never heard of before.
I am not a big fan of pumpkin but I do love pumpkin seeds. I just bought a bunch of pumpkins just for seeds but now I have a few ideas to make stuff for the family. Thanks

Oh, I have seen lots of recipes for seeds. That should be fun.
I am with you— I will eat pumpkin anything! Thanks for the recipe!
Your welcome. I hope you try it and enjoy it.
I love pumpkin anything, too. The shake sounds delicious as well as healthy!
It is, you get your vitamins and your dessert fix.
What a great recipe, Candi! I love that it works even for vegans! I sent it to my daughter, who's looking for healthy Halloween recipes for a Halloween post she'll be publishing at http://FitBodyFullLife.com. I stumbled this and also added it to my Pumpkin Unit Study Pinterst board at http://pinterest.com/debchitwood/pumpkin-unit-stu….
