It’s not just for holiday pies. Canned pumpkin is surprisingly versatile, adding fall flavor to a wide range of dishes—think pancakes and waffles, savory dips and spreads, even chili, tacos and bruschetta—as well as desserts. Packed with vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron and potassium, it’s also an excellent source of fiber. So whether you’re cooking soup, simmering a stew, or making whoopie (pies, that is), think outside the can and bring some pumpkin to the party.

Pumpkin Tacos is the best for me
Disappointed I have to go online to get recipes when I have a subscription…I don’t have time to go online, seach and print…very annoying….
Does anyone actually have a comment on the recipe??? Does ANYONE have anything but negatives? Wow, sad. Personally I will be trying this recipe and can’t wait to report back!
My best friend has just announced her wedding with a millionaire. They met via ) ==== cougarloving_com ==== ( It’s the best place to meet rich successful men & classy beautiful women. Our members include CEOs, pro athletes, doctors, lawyers, models, and celebrities….Maybe you can take a try.
My apologies, I finally did find the recipe I needed. Took some digging for someone like me on the computer. I will reconsider your magazine.
Yesterday I went to your website familycircle.com/pumpkin and the recipes appeared .Today I tried to recall this paqge aqnd it is not available. Help! Thanks
I would like to be able to see and print the recipe for pumpkin whoopie pies that were referenced in the September 2012 issue. I have gone to family circle.con/pumpkin as suggested and see the picture, however, I do not see the recipe. Can you adivse on how I would obtain a p;rintable version of the recipe?
there should be pink writing under the picture click it
I would like to print only a recipe and not all the ads. Also, when I purchase a magazine, it is because I want to actually read it. I should not have to then go on line to get the recipes mentioned. Most do not contain any nutritional information, why not? As another poster mentioned, these websites are one sided, you can never get a person, send a note or get information. I don’t want to be on Facebook, I don”t want to Tweet (I’m not a bird), and voice”jail”, e-mail are enough already!
I would like to end my subscription but having a hard time contacting the company. Please advvise me with a phone number not web site. I want to talk to a real person. Thanks. Suzanne
NOT everyone has computer & MANY still don’t relate to dot com etc etc – so don’t tease these people with great looking pic of food they may want to make but unable to get recipe because you do NOT put next to picture or in the back of your Family Circle magazine. Thanks for your consideration.
