Nothing to do with diabetes but I thought I could post my haloween pumpkin. I gave out many haribo jellies tonight without having even one. Well done to myself :clap: (it used to be my favorite treat before diagnosis).
I also discovered pumpkin is quite low in carbs so decided to explore some pumpkin recipes. Pumpkin soup sounds nice

Pumpkin soup is lovely, as is roast pumpkin.
Lidl are doing some "seasonal squash" that look like little tiny pumpkins. I chopped one up last night and put it into a chicken stew. It was a lot like potato in taste and texture, but didn't spike my blood sugar.
 
Here's our pumpkin not one child knocked on our door

Yep, love pumpkin. Shame supermarkets have none for sale on 1/11/13 (Tons on previous night :cry: )
I like my pumpkin soup a bit spicy: Roasted pumpkin, Chicken stock, leek/spring onion, fresh chillies, lemon grass, & coconut
 
Shzz, really good pumpkin! Well done!

Didn't get many this year, just two groups of the neighbours kids. Went for chocolate coated dried fruit and toffee apples, then got rid of the left overs when some private pupils came to the house next day. Less temptation that way!

Will be checking out the pumpkin recipes, thank you. I love squash but I've always found pumpkin a bit bland. Will try again.
