You will Improve your Health if you do this one thing....

Eat fresh, eat seasonal.

I love the summer bounty of healthy offerings in our local farmer's markets but what about Fall and the approaching winter, how do you continue to eat healthy? Easy...think seasonal. Fall is the time of year for pumpkins, acorn squash, spinach, fall lettuces, broccoli, cauliflower, sprouts...the list goes on. Step out of your comfort zone and try new recipes.

I decided I would make a fresh pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving this year, so I made a puree from a Sugar Maple pumpkin, and it is amazing how easy it is and what a difference! 

Preheat your oven to 400' get a sheet pan and line with foil. Take your sugar maple pumpkins and pull off the stems and wash exterior. Put in oven, no need to wait for it to preheat and roast 60-90 minutes until you can easily slip a knife in like butter. 

Pull from oven, let cool then easily peel away the skin, scoop out seeds and you are ready to go. Simple, painless and oh so delicious. Your pumpkin can then be pureed and put into a freezer bag and freeze to use at Thanksgiving or use immediately in your favorite pie recipe.
