:lightbulb Charlie Brown and Linus were right all along--pumpkins really are great! In fact, they are so good for us that in his book, "SuperFoods Rx," Dr. Steven Pratt, and expert on the roles of nutrition and lifestyle in the prevention of disease, lists pumpkins as one of 14 super-healthy foods. What makes this decorative food so great? Research has shown pumpkin may help lower the risk of various cancers (lung, colon, bladder, cervical, skin, and breast). Pumpkin also supplies nutrients that help keep skin looking young and prevent damage from sunlight. But if carving a pumpkin isn't your thing, use the canned variety for soups, breads, and puddings.

Betty Crocker cookbook: cooked pumpkin
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut 1 small pumpkin (about 4 pounds) into halves; remove seeds and fiber. Place pumpkin cut sides up in oblong baking dish; pour water 3/4 inch deep into dish. Cover and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Scoop pumpkin from shells; mash until no lumps remain. Yield: about 4 cups mashed cooked pumpkin
Use for pumpkin bread, vegetable stews, or....some pumpkin pie, yum, yum
