Pumpkin Oatmeal

Hello people!  The bad news is – it’s Monday!  The good news is – it’s only a 2 1/2 day work week!  I’m assuming Wednesday is a half day for most people.  pumpkin oatmeal 121
My weekend was quite busy.  Friday night was dinner with friends at a fabulous Indian restaurant in Manhattan called Dhaba.  A review on Dhaba is coming up this week.pumpkin oatmeal 083
Saturday was a fun family gathering to celebrate my sister’s in-laws’ 50th Anniversary at Deewan Banquet (which btw, I totally recommend for a smaller event – excellent appetizers & dinner).  My sister did an amazing job planning the event and paid close attention to the fine details.  I danced the night away until the last song and I was forced to stop – don’t you just hate that?


Sunday – I recovered from my hangover.  Ha!pumpkin oatmeal 106

So in light of Thanksgiving this week, I decided to work on a super healthy pumpkin oatmeal recipe which came out awesome.  I hope you’ll give this recipe a try with some leftover pumpkin this week.  Enjoy! pumpkin oatmeal 122

NUTRITION:
Pumpkin is rich in Vitamin A and Fiber.  Oats help reduce cholesterol and are a good source of protein and fiber.  Milk is an excellent source of Calcium and Protein.  Chia Seeds is a superfood and an excellent source of fiber, protein, omega 3 fatty acids, and antioxidants.  



INGREDIENTS (if you don’t have ground cinnamon, nutmeg, & ginger powder, use 1/3 tsp of Pumpkin Spice instead):

  • Low Fat 1% Milk – 1/2 cup
  • Quaker Old-fashioned Oats – 1/3 cup
  • Vanilla Extract – 1/2 tsp
  • Ground Cinnamon – 1/4 tsp
  • Nutmeg – small pinch
  • Ginger Powder – small pinch
  • Libby’s Pure Pumpkin – 3 tbsp
  • Pure Maple Syrup – 1 tbsp (or less)
  • Pecans – 4 to 5 (broken)
  • Chia Seeds – 1/4 to 1/2 tsp


DIRECTIONS:

1. On low-medium heat, add milk and oats to a small pot.pumpkin oatmeal 002

2. Add vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger powder, or you can use pumpkin spice instead.pumpkin oatmeal 003
3. Stir.pumpkin oatmeal 009
4. Now add the pumpkin – I started with 2 tbsp and then added 1 more.  Stir.pumpkin oatmeal 012
5. Once the oatmeal starts bubbling, add the maple syrup.  Stir and turn off the stove once heated thru.pumpkin oatmeal 016
6. Pour the pumpkin oatmeal into a serving bowl.pumpkin oatmeal 018
7. Top with chia seeds and pecans.  It’s rich, creamy, and healthy!pumpkin oatmeal 080

    Very good recipe to use that leftover canned pumpkin. I used Trader Joe’s gluten- free oats, coconut milk then topped with chia seeds and raw walnuts (broken into pieces).

Heaven in a bowl. I can’t tell you how easy it i Heaven in a bowl. I can’t tell you how easy it is to make TOFU THAI RED CURRY - even if you can’t find kaffir lime leaves. There is no ginger and garlic in this recipe, and there is no need to sauté the veggies. Simply add raw veggies to a simmering coconut gravy and cook the veggies for a few minutes. Flavor the sauce and garnish. Tofu Thai Red Curry is a classic and is the perfect combo of sweet, spicy, and salty flavors. ⁠
