Saturday Night Dinner Recipes

Yesterday while I was perusing the yahoo feed I came across a link for different uses for "Creative Ways to Use Canned Pumpkin" much to my delight I saw the recipe for "Black Bean and Pumpkin Burgers." Now, this is a meatless option and a great way to use canned pumpkin. I love pumpkin and I love even more that on the Weight Watchers program its a power food and its also FREE for 1 whole cup! This site doesn't really give any exact measurements so I just sorta played around with it and it worked pretty well. I served these on sandwich thins with a variation of an  "Creamy Avocado Cole Slaw"which I found here was AMMMMAZING!!!
