Yes, that's exactly the way to start! You can't eat what you don't

buy. Buy only beneficials (I love pumpkins.)!

There is a pumpkin nut bread recipe in the cook right book that also has

raisins. We live on it, and buy our pumpkin in the can, has nothing in it

if you get the pure pumpkin stuff. Husband wanted to get the pie mix last

night when we could not find the pure pumpkin stuff, sometimes he does not

understand, but then he is the most wonderful man in the world with what he

goes thru with my illnesses I don't mind.

When deserts talk to you, only listen to the pumpkin pie, make it yourself

with rice dream, only type O spices and don't eat the crust. I grew up in a

large family making things from scratch so recipes don't scare me, but I do

have to wait until I have the energy, making the pumpkin nut bread is

something I make and the only other things I do are eat, sleep, TV and get

online.

Was someone going to post that pumpkin bread recipe?? It sounds good.

The most common way Hungarians eat pumpkin is the way described by

, i.e. baked, but I'll surely try the pie and the soup, too.

The Pumpkin-Almond Bread recipe is in the Cook Right book on page 264, but

for those that do not have that book, I will post it below. It is neutral

for Os because of some of the ingredients, but it sure is delicious with

cool whip on it. I am really gonna miss it when I run out of ingredients

and get my secretor status and go HB only. I will put it here with the O

choices only:

butter or oil for pan

1 cup white spelt flour

3/4 cup ground almonds (I use sliced since that is all my Amish store sells)

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. cloves

1/2 tsp. ginger

3/4 cup turbinado sugar (aka unrefined cane sugar)

1/4 cup butter, at room temperature

2 eggs

1 cup pumpkin (you can buy canned but be sure it has no other ingredients in

it)

1/3 cup soy milk (I use rice dream, don't like soy)

1/2 cup raisins or chopped figs

Preheat over to 350 degrees F. grease a 9x13-inch glass pan. In a large

bowl, mix flour, ground almonds (if using sliced almonds, add last), baking

powder, baking soda, salt, cloves and ginger. In a separate bowl, beat the

sugar, butter, and eggs until very light. Add pumpkin and beat again.

Swiftly add dry ingredients alternately with soy milk (or rice dream) in two

additions. Stir in raisins or figs. Pour into prepared pan and bake about

30 minutes, or until a straw comes out clean. Yield: 1 loaf

I could live on this stuff, but alas, for now I have to heal my body so am

excited to start HB with the right supplements as soon as I get my secretor

status tested. Hopefully, I will some day be able to stop taking the 9

prescriptions the doctors have me on and I will have a real life outside my

home! So far, with about 80% sticking to the type O diet I can already tell

the difference!

Hi Michele, sounds good but to adapt for an O ns, how would I do it?

1. olive or canola oil for the pan

2. change spelt floor to kamut?

3. turbinado - is this an allowable sugar (if it is I missed it) or if not,

what can be substituted????

4. clarify the butter to make it into Ghee - is that right?

Good Luck and Speedy recovery of good health! Ann

Dear Ann,

I don't know as it was written before LR4YT was written. I don't know my

secretor status yet and hopefully someone else can help you with that as

even though I have the LR4YT book, my illness keeps me from being able to

read and retain anything. No short term memory at the moment along with

brain fog and the list goes on. Perhaps can help out here.

Can these be frozen before/after baking since pumpkins are very seasonal?

Sorry - problems with the server.

I bake my 4 or 5 pumpkins each season. Cut them in halves or

quarters and bake cut side down on a lightly olive oiled pan at 450

degrees until the skin starts to blacken and blister. The longer you

bake them without burning- the richer the flavor. I let them cool

and then scoop out all the flesh into quart size ziploc bags and

freeze them.

Sugar Pie or Cinderella pumpkins work the best. The type sold for

cutting are usually too watery and stringy.

Cheers,

Colleen

I made it this weekend. Very yummy, though it didn't rise very much.

Is it supposed to (not much baking experience, either)? Also, is

arrow root the Type-O sub for baking powder?

I used a fresh pumpkin, steamed and scooped out. And also roasted the

seeds for 5-10 minutes with olive oil & sea salt drizzled. Yum!

I would guess that if you used Spelt that yes it probably wouldn't rise as much

as a modern wheat flour which has more gluten,

etc. (gluten facilitates the rising process).

I think anyway :)

Pumpkin

Health Benefits:The orange color of pumpkin is a dead giveaway that the fiber-rich gourd is loaded with the antioxidant beta-carotene, which is good for your eyes. When you eat pumpkin, your body converts some beta-carotene to vitamin A. This antioxidant vitamin helps prevent some types of cancer and atherosclerosis. Pumpkin also provides a healthy dose of vitamin C and potassium, both of which can help counteract the effects of sodium, which is particularly important if you have high blood pressure.

Preparation:Carefully remove the stem end with a sturdy knife. Cut the gourd in half and remove membranes and seeds. Cut the halves into wedges, then peel the wedges and cut the pulp into chunks. Boil or braise the pumpkin chunks in small amounts of water; if desired, puree in a blender until smooth.
