2) Pumpkin Flavored ANYTHING

Whenever I see the word "pumpkin" in a recipe or menu item I must have it! Lucky for me, this delicious ingredients has been popping up all over Pinterest. Some of my personal favorites:

Baked Pumpkin Donuts (see picture)

Pumpkin Butter

Low-Fat Pumpkin Cake Bars

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bread

If you have some pumpkin puree on hand try these recipes! And don't stop. Add some pumpkin to your traditional cake mix, or pancake mix for a ton of Vitamin A and a delicious flavor.  I also find pumpkin beverages, like Pumpkin Ale and Pumpkin Spice Lattes, irresistible! Don't forget to ask for non-fat versions though...

Enjoy!
