Easy, tasty fall/winter recipe for those weight-watchers or vegetarians who just went pumpkin picking, or for those wondering what to do with the pumpkins still sitting on their front stoops at Thanksgiving time. Of course you can use canned pumpkin to save time and mess, but it's more fun to use hand-picked ones from local farms. This slimmed-down version is still rich and creamy and will be loved by dieters and non-dieters alike!
