I know pumpkin is most commonly used in the fall, but who's to say you can't enjoy it during the other three seasons? It offers a ton of vitamin A (beta-carotene) and tastes fantastic when paired with the right spices. Again, in my attempt to diversify my breakfast ideas, I present another option for eating oatmeal (which has a bit more protein than cereal). Hello, yummy!
