They can also help protect skin cells against damage from harmful UV rays. Now let’s talk about Vitamin C. Your body needs this in order to make collagen which is a protein that keeps your skin strong and healthy. You’ve probably heard about collagen all over social media. You can consume it in many ways…but did you ever think a cookie would be able to provide this 'must have' protein in such a satisfying way? As your making this delicious recipe, just think about all the health benefits your getting from this winter squash.Pumpkin Pasta with Italian Sausage & ArugulaMost of us can’t get enough pumpkin sweets in the fall and then what?

Try this recipe that’s bursting with savory flavors from the fennel in the Italian sausage to the spice of the arugula. The creaminess of the pumpkin sauce as it binds to the pasta will create a delicious bite that will help bring all these savory flavors together.

Pumpkin offers a healthy twist that includes a good source of fiber and tons of nutrients.Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese SpreadThere is nothing quite as delicious as pumpkin spice during the holidays. Unfortunately, many of those pumpkin spice flavored treats are major culprits in unwanted holiday weight gain. This pumpkin spice cream cheese spread has all of the things I love about pumpkin spice treats, the richness and sweetness, but because it goes great with high fiber foods like apple slices or 100% whole wheat toast, it fits perfectly into a balanced diet.
