Pumpkin -- a crop that typically peaks this month -- is rich in beta carotene, and studies show that a diet high in beta carotene may help reduce the risk of cancers, including breast cancer. Add cancer-fighting flair to your weekend pancake recipe by adding 1/2 cup of pumpkin and 3/4 of a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Of course, no single food item fully guards against breast cancer, so don't skip your mammogram. Early detection can make this dreaded disease enormously beatable

We recently made pumpkin ice cream and last night, we had butternut squash soup - it certainly seemed pumpkiny. Pumpkin-it's not just for Autumn, yes?
Oh yummmm... butternut squash soup! I love it! My daughter's class made it for their "tea" when they invite the parents to dine with them for a morning. They made thier own chamomile tea too. Man I'm proud of those kids.
