Fall Goodness (Recipe)
I just re-engineered a recipe I used to do all the time for Pumpkin Butter that you might like.
1 29 oz can of pumpkin (NOT Pumpkin Pie Filling or Pumpkin Pie Mix)
1 Cup Splenda (or other no calorie sweetener of choice)
1 1/4 cup Torani Brown Sugar Cinnamon syrup
2 tsp Vanilla
2 tsp ginger
2 tsp nutmeg (Fresh ground)
1 tsp Allspice
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 45 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Once this is done you can serve immediately, or refrigerate and store.
This is really good when mixed with your greek yogurt! If you are in maintenance and can have fruit, mix with greek yogurt and add some sliced banana.

I also make a crustless pumpkin pie that is 50 calories a piece.
1 can of real pumpkin
3 egg whites
cinnamon/ginger/nutmeg/cloves (to taste)
1 cup of splenda
spray pie plate with pam and back in oven at 350 until knife comes out clean when inserted into pie.
My son loves this one; he is a body builder and does not eat breads period.
I was thinking about that as my next thought too.
The apple butter from walden farms is just nasty.
