Since a lot of you asked for this recipe, here is my basic recipe. I do like to change it up by adding nuts, cottage cheese, flaxseed, wheat germ, chocolate chips, etc. This is also good with butternut squash or acorn squash in place of the pumpkin.

You will be so surprised when you taste this dish! To balance the sweet potatoes, we've added celery root, chives, and garlic, plus a dab of Greek yogurt and butter.
The night before Thanksgiving and on Christmas Eve (in preparation for holiday gatherings) we all gang up in the kitchen and whip up batch of these goodies! Fruit never disappeared THIS fast!

Holiday Pumpkin Pie without the Pumpkin
Makes its own Crust
I reduced the sugar and used fat free evaporated milk. I used two whole eggs so the texture is the same as "regular" pumpkin pie.

Making applesauce couldn't be easier. Just 3 ingredients (probably ones that you already have on hand)! This recipe doesn't use sugar, because I find that it is not needed, but you could always add sugar to taste.

A lighter accompaniment to Turkey. All the flavors of Thanksgiving without swimming butter and sugar.
Dried cranberries (or other dried fruit) can be substituted for the fresh cranberries, if the fresh are not available.
Organic Brussel Sprouts are available in the fall/winter at your local Farmers' Market
