Downtown Montrose MOPS News REPORT
Carolyn Packard is the mother of Josh (8) and Sarah (6) and is a former
MOPS member. She has been a practicing physical therapist for 13 years
specializing in orthopedic and women’s health rehabilitation. She recently
opened Aspen Grove Physical Therapy where she enjoys assisting women
in meeting their fitness and heel related goals, rehabilitating their injuries
and making their days easier and more pain free.
To reach her, please call 240-4015.
Today’s Speaker: Carolyn Packard
Did you know pumpkins are 90 percent water? And that they're a fruit? How about
that pumpkin flowers are edible?
In fact, fall's orange gourds probably have way more health benefits than you think.
And now that the nearly year-long pumpkin shortage is over, it's time to dig in!
In the old days, pumpkins were recommended for removing freckles and curing
snake bites. Now, they make a yummy facial: Real Housewives star, Bethenny
Frankel, has created a pumpkin mask to pamper and hydrate your skin.
Way back when, Native Americans used pumpkin seeds for food and medicine to
treat things like digestive problems. Now, we mainly roast the pepitas and eat them
as they are or grind them up and use them in recipes for things like pumpkin seed
pesto.
But the nutrients haven't changed over the years -- and there are plenty.
Pumpkins are loaded with the antioxidant beta-carotene. This can reduce the risk of some cancers and protect
against heart disease. They're also high in fiber, potassium, and magnesium to help keep your body running in tip-
top shape.
In early colonial times, gourds (and their nutrients) were used to their fullest. This year, let's take a cue from our
ancestors and see how much you can get out of that pumpkin.
One idea for inspiration: The sugary empty calories of graham crackers were not around back then, so colonists
used the actual pumpkin in the crust of pies instead. Now that the pumpkin shortage is over, you should be able to
get your hands on an extra can to give this technique a try.

Check out the Easy recipe
ideas
Above. These would be great
for a MOPS meeting!
Easy Egg Casserole Ingredients
• 1 pkg. Pork Sausage
• 10 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 cups milk
• 2 teaspoons dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 cups cubed bread
• 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
(optional)
• 1 medium tomato, seeded and
chopped (optional) 1/2 cup thin-sliced green onions (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 F. In large skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink. In large mixing bowl, com-bine eggs, milk, mustard and salt; stir well. Distribute half the bread evenly in a buttered 9" x 13" x 2" baking dish. Sprinkle with half the pepper, half the cheese, half the sausage and half of each optional ingredient. Repeat lay-ering the casserole using remaining bread, pepper, cheese, sausage and optional ingredients. Pour egg mixture evenly over casserole. Bake the breakfast casserole un-covered for 55-60 minutes, or until eggs are set. Tent with foil if top of breakfast casserole begins to brown too
quickly.
Note: May be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 12
hours before baking.
Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients
• 31/2 cups Flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
• 3 cups Sugar
• 1/2 cup Cooking oil
• 4 Eggs
• 2 1/2 cups Canned Pumpkin
• 1/4 Water
Directions
1. In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking
soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
2. In a separate bowl, mix by hand the sugar, oil,
eggs, pumpkin, and water.
3. Combine with the dry ingredients.
4. Bake in 9×5 loaf pans at 350 degrees for 90 min-
utes, checking after 1 hour. Yield: 2 Loaves
Notes
• I also like to use this recipe to make a dozen muffins and four mini-loaves. Decrease the
baking time accordingly. (about 30 min.)
• The 2.5 cups of pumpkin can be replaced by the same quantity of other fruit. Bananas,
apples, cranberries, figs – all good choices. Try adding leftover jars of baby food to the mix.
• These freeze very well.
