ugh!...lol iv never liked the taste of pumpkin. I reallt don't see how people eat pumpkin pie on the hoilidays.

 

[Tofu-N-Sprouts]

Aww... come on, don't go knockin' it unless you've tried it.

okay i got some pumpkin so i made this.

except i didn't have the ice cream (never fails) so i added some brown sugar to get the sweetness, andi added some nutmeg too. it was so good! i never would have thought of making a pumpkin milkshake.

So, is it really ok to eat the pumpkin out of the can without cooking it. I'm so afraid of canned foods.

I haven't died yet and I eat pumpkin in smoothies and puddings fairly often.

Go for it!

pumpkin out of the can is sooo good. i put it in smoothies and puddings also. or straight from the can with some sugar, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. its good stuff.

That was so good! I went out a grabbed some stuff last night and made one. I had my wisdom teeth out a few days ago and I just don't feel like eating, but I'm hungry.

My dh was out and about and I called him to tell him I wanted a pumpkin milkshake. He was like are you sure you want some dairy? It was so funny!

I used a couple of spoonfuls of canned pumpkin, a couple of bigger spoonfuls of Vanilla Rice Dream Ice Cream, and enough glugs of silk egg nog to get it going. I have one of those magic bullets and just used one of the mugs that came with it. Our only complaint was that it would have been really good with some fresh ground nutmeg on top. It was yummy and super filling!!!
