It’s that time of year when you start seeing all things pumpkin in stores and on the menu! In fact, last weekend I shared some delicious pumpkin recipes with my friends at 1011 News. With the assistance of my UNL Dietetic Intern Kallie Heath, we created these 3 simple and tasty recipes using canned pumpkin! We both love pumpkin because it’s a great source of fiber, Vitamin A, and it’s low in calories. I also prefer using canned pumpkin over fresh pumpkin because it’s convenient, nutritious, and it will last all season long. Check out the segment and enjoy the recipes!!

It's fall & that means all things Pumpkin! Incorporate Pumpkin in your overnight oats, or whip up a pumpkin dip or smoothie! Registered Dietitian Amber Pankonin visited #1011FNN Saturday with some easy, healthy recipes to try at home! Visit StirList for more!
