Long time no post 
I am enjoying my NYC blogger meet-up this weekend but wanted to post a little something for Sunday.
Sunday dinner is a very big in the Mom on the Run house. It is a time for all the member who live in our house to actually sit around the dinner table and enjoy each others company. Usually I create a new menu dish that is unique and tasty and my sister-in-law Amanda makes a great desert to compliment the dish. We make a great team in the kitchen and our families appreciate our efforts.
Amanda makes great deserts, which totally is a godsend for the baking challenged like myself. Not only are her deserts tasty, but they are not bad for the health conscious. I love what the recipes that use pumpkin. Pumpkin is my new go to food for a sweet treat. There is just something about it that makes my tummy happy.
The desert she made last Sunday was the infamous Hungry Girl. Now I am the first to admit that I am not a huge Hungry Girl fan. I mean not to offend anyone with my dislike, but she doesn’t use the healthiest most natural products in some of her recipes. A girl can only have so much Fiber One.
This recipe is on the exceptions I make to Hungry Girl. Actually I took the recipe and modified it a bit to fit Mom on the Run Standards when I try to recreate it myself.
Adapted by Mom on the Run
Ingredients:
-
1 15 oz Pure Pumpkin Can
-
1/2 cup of Turtle Mountain Farms Coconut Milk
-
1/2 cup of egg whites
-
1/2 cup of Stevia or any other sugar substitute
-
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
Place mix in a rectangular baking dish and bake for 45 minutes. Serve hot or cold.
This was a great Sunday dinner desert that the whole family enjoyed. It was a cross between a pudding and a custard. Lots of flavor and very filling. The best part………It was super easy to make That alone give it a two thumb approval rating from Mom on the Run.
I will recap my most exciting weekend later tonight. I had so much fun with the NYC bloggers. I wish I lived closer so we all could hang out more
Looks yummy! Can’t wait to see how your weekend went
That looks yummy, you can never go wrong with Pumpkin lol…
I had so much fun ayer! you need to visit more often
.-= Mari´s last blog ..Bloggies+Burros+TLC= Good Times… =-.
Notice I haven’t been using pumpkin lately? AHHH!!! It’s still no where to be found in Indiana
I can’t wait to get my hands on some and try that!
.-= April´s last blog ..Flax Seed Meal =-.
Looks great!
And I feel the same way about HG. She has some good suggestions, but the recipe focus too much on lowering the calories and not enough on eating real food.
loveee me some hungrygirl! canned pumpkin is a MAJOR staple in my life
That looks so good! I love HUngry Girl too!
May want to go back and edit this post, unless you are talking about deserts in Arizona
I’m jealous that you can even FIND canned pumpkin, as I have looked everywhere and have come up with nothing. This recipes is right up my alley. Thanks for sharing, and glad you had a nice weekend!

That does look good. I like some of Hungry Girl’s recipes, but she uses so much fake sugar!

Very cool! I am so loving pumpkin at the moment. I agree with you though! Im not a huge fan of hungry girl at all either but this recipe looks pretty good! Im so glad you had fun at the meet up. It looked like a great time. I hope you have a fantastic evening!
Glad to hear you’re having fun! That dessert sounds super yummy. I am SO with you- I am not a huge HG fan. You can’t call something healthy when you combine 20 fake chemicals!

mmmm pumpkin is so delicious, I bet this was pretty tasty!!!
I am so not a fan of Hungry Girl either…way too many preservatives in the ingredients she calls for. This recipe, however, does look like a winner! You can never have too much pumpkin, in my opinion.

I heard about that get together, it looked so fun!!! I need to move to a more populated blogger region! : )
Making dessert is the best I can do! btw, i reference you as my sister-in-law too haha
