Whenever I make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies (my family's favorite), I have leftover pumpkin puree. Most of the time it gets tossed in the garbage can because I never know what to do with it.
How about putting it in a smoothie? I saw this great recipe on the 100 Days of Real Food Facebook page today:
Pumpkin Pie Green Smoothie
2 Ripe Bananas
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1/8 t. cinnamon
That's one way to use up the pumpkin. But here are some more ways to enjoy pumpkin during pumpkin season:

Who knew there were so many ways! I'll never throw away the leftovers again.
Thank you for this because I happen to have some leftover pumpkin puree in the refrigerator right now and I was trying to figure out what to do with it!
