I love pumpkin-flavored anything — pies, muffins, cheesecake, even ice cream! But gorging on too many sweet pumpkin treats can leave me with a sick stomach full of unhealthy fats and sugars. One way I've been satisfying my pumpkin cravings is by making my own pumpkin-flavored yogurt at home.

I'm a huge fan of Trader Joes' Steel Cut Oatmeal because it tastes more natural than most instant varieties, but I'm always looking for a way to dress it up. I usually pick raisins or raspberries, but this week I picked up a package of pomegranate seeds (Trader Joes sells them). They are tasty, colorful, seasonal and full of antioxidants.

Before you throw out the guts of that jack-o'-lantern you've carved, try this basic, healthy recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds.
Pumpkin seeds are loaded with nutrients. They're high in both plant sterols, which may help lower cholesterol, and phytochemicals, which promote prostate health.

When I feel like an after dinner snack I love baking a sliced green apple sprinkled with a bit of cinnamon and brown sugar. I started with a recipe that suggested follow out the apple and fill it, but now I just cut it up and bake it. I get my apple-a-day, a bit of fiber, and it seems like a dessert treat without a ton of sugar or fat.
