There are thousands of new recipes posted online every day. We love trolling sites like Pinterest, Gojee, and Tastespotting as much as the next person, but we realize that can be a huge time drain. Just in time to get into the Halloween spirit, this week we're featuring five savory and sweet pumpkin recipes. Turns out, pumpkin is much more than an edible candle-holder. This superfood squash is low in calories and fat and loaded with good stuff like vitamins, beta-carotene, and antioxidants.
