Cumin Spice Pumpkin Soup

Presentation is everything with this flavorful fall soup! 
Recipe serves 2.

• 1 (15 oz) can of pumpkin
• 1 1/2 cup low sodium vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 cup low fat milk
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon cheyenne pepper
• salt and ground black pepper
• 2 bay leaves
• green hulled pumpkin seeds
• 2 (two) 10" organic pumpkins
• Fresh sage
  

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Start by cleaning out pumpkins as you would with a jack-o-lantern (remember to save those seeds for roasting later!)


Lightly dust inside of pumpkin with salt and a few sage leaves. Put top back on pumpkins.

Place on roasting or jelly roll pan and roast for 30-40 minutes - until skin starts turning brown.

In a large saucepan, combine pumpkin, broth, milk and cumin. 
Add bay leaves and season lightly with salt, pepper and Cheyenne pepper.
Bring to a simmer (10 minutes).

Separately, place pumpkin seeds in a skillet and slightly toast until they are a little golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.

When pumpkins are done roasting, remove from oven.

Pour soup into roasted pumpkins and garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds.


Enjoy!

Frozen Banana Slices with Honey and Wheat Germ

This delicious recipe was just given to me and after a few minutes of preparation and patiently waiting for them to freeze, I am so happy to share this recipe with you.

Simply slice ripe bananas so they are about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick.

Roll each slice in honey and immediately roll in wheat germ.

Place on a jelly roll pan or baking sheet and place in the freezer.

(Cover with plastic wrap if you plan on leaving them in the freezer for a long duration of time.)

Once frozen, take them out and enjoy!
