These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.
Enjoy!

Pumpkin Pie Pudding

This was our Thanksgiving dessert of choice, and it was DELICIOUS! We used vanilla soy milk instead of regular milk, and that was a tasty substitute. We also used fat free Cool Whip instead of making our own whipped cream. Now what do we do with the rest of the tub of Cool Whip.... :)

Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
* 1/2 cup sugar, divided
* 2 tablespoons cornstarch
* 1 3/4 cups 1% low-fat milk
* 1 large egg
* 1/2 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* Cooking spray
* 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
* Dash of salt
* 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Preparation
1. Combine 6 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Combine milk and egg, stirring well with a whisk. Gradually add milk mixture to sugar mixture, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
2. Combine pumpkin and the next 4 ingredients (through ground nutmeg) in a bowl, stirring well. Slowly add pumpkin mixture to milk mixture, whisking constantly. Place pan over low heat, and cook for 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring constantly (do not boil). Divide pudding evenly among 4 dessert bowls, and cover surface of pudding with plastic wrap. Chill.
3. Line a baking sheet with foil, and coat foil with cooking spray. Place the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, walnuts, and a dash of salt in a small nonstick skillet; cook over low heat until sugar dissolves and is golden (about 3 minutes), stirring frequently to coat nuts. Transfer mixture to prepared baking sheet, and cool completely. Coarsely chop nuts.
4. Place cream in a bowl. Beat with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons whipped cream and about 1 tablespoon nuts.
